Radical feminist, activist and writer Elly Arrow joins me today to discuss the many harms of pornography and prostitution. Elly shares her journey from liberal feminism into radical feminism after seeing the real and brutal harms pornography inflicted on women and girls in her life. We cover problems with the term ‘sex worker’ and other trade myths, the intentional erosion of boundaries and agency for women in the sex trade, and the bizarre belief that regulating the industry will protect women from the dehumanizing and medically dangerous conditions inherent in the trade. We also speak of the loneliness of sex buyers, the correlations between the sex trade, surrogacy and obstetric abuse and the relationship between marginalized demographics and sex trade capitalism. Elly advocates for the abolition of the sex industry and blogs extensively on The Invisible Man - Germany, where you can find quotes, analyses, statistics, and more on the men who create the demand for the sex trade in the first place. She educates on the intersection of female poverty, lack of rights for migrant women, intimate partner violence and sexual trauma. Elly encourages others to do what they can about these matters and is hopeful that many, varied voices can make a meaningful impact for women and girls everywhere.

Today I speak with Jesika Gonzalez, founder of TERF Collective- a radical feminist space committed to fighting the global campaign of female erasure, which organizes both virtually and in-person. We talk tactics of consciousness raising, direct action, and spreading the message of female liberation. For TERF Collective, this began with educational pamphlets, including one taking aim at Target’s gender neutral bathroom policy, the institution of which preceded a 190% increase in Peeping Tom incidents in their stores. Following this success, Jesika and her network of TERFs have also organized demonstrations against transgenderism. Wherever they gather, 'Trans Rights Activists' show up to threaten and even assault the women in an attempt to silence their woman-centered message. We know there are many battles to come and today you'll hear what's working and what's not in the war against trans ideology.
