Back in May, Julia and Anna spoke to Elle Stanger a.k.a StripperWriter. Elle is a writer and sex educator (for Huffington Post, Men's Health and more), a stripper, podcaster, porn creator and lobbyist for workers' rights in her home state of Oregon, USA. Elle is an expert on all things sex and sex work, and regaled Anna and Julia with some fascinating stories including the ridiculous things strippers get asked, the argument for decriminalising sex work instead of legalising it, how to parent in a sex-positive way, and many more.
Elle also tells us about Carol Leigh, a foremother of the Sex Workers' Rights movement in America who has lived some pretty crazy stories of her own, and has been advocating for Sex Workers for over 40 years. If you don't know much about Sex Workers, the law and their rights then this is the episode for you.
Please bear in mind we recorded this in May, so any Covid-19 related talk is not reflective of the current situation. And go and follow Elle at all these places:
