43. Somebody You Love is a sex work historian (Kaytlin Bailey)

Kaytlin Bailey is a contrarian by nature and a provocateur by trade. She is an internationally touring stand-up comic, sex worker rights advocate and writer. In 2020 she founded Old Pros where she continues her stubborn crusade against whorephobia and today she is talking to Holly & Jenna about why the history of sex work matters, who her favourite old pros are, and some of the complexities of advocacy and exploitation.Old Pros: https://oldprosonline.org/3:11 Kaytlin’s origin story 10:11 Money for feelings: political fundraising vs sex work 12:44 What is Old Pros?19:23 Why the history of sex work matters25:27 Kaytlin’s favourite whores of yore43:19 Adversity and diversity in advocacy 48:53 Conversations about exploitationInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/somebodyyoupodTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/somebodyyoupodFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/somebodyyoupodSomebody You Love is sponsored by Assembly Four, empowering sex workers through technology: https://assemblyfour.com/ For more info on sex work in Australia, please check out the following organisations: ACT (SWOP ACT): https://meridianact.org.au/swop/NSW (SWOP NSW): https://swop.org.au/NT (SWOP NT): https://www.ntahc.org.au/swopntQld (Respect Inc): https://respectqld.org.au/SA (SIN): http://www.sin.org.au/sindex.htmlTas (Scarlet Alliance): https://scarletalliance.org.au/links/Vic (Vixen Collective): https://www.vixencollective.org/vcWA (SWEAR):http://sexworkerrightswa.orgWA (Magenta): http://magenta.org.auSupport the showMERCH: https://www.somebodyyoulove.net/storePatreon (from $3AUD/month): http://www.patreon.com/somebodyyoupodInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/somebodyyoupodX: http://www.x.com/somebodyyoupodFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/somebodyyoupodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@somebodyyoupod
