If you were gay and the government wanted to bring in a bill to ban gay marriage you wouldn't vote to protect the rights of the people who have a religious objection to gay marriage, you would vote against it.

That's literally what legalizing it is. No one is forcing you to be gay married. You can object if you want. I'm against restricting others freedoms. That means I support legalizing gay marriage, even if I don't want to be gay married, because it allows for people to choose what thay want rather than forcing a certain belief on them. I don't know anywhere that forces gay marriage, but you're perfectly fine enforcing straight-only marriage I guess. A little hypocritical, no?

ALL morals are relative. With the argument you are giving you are LITERALLY telling me that YOUR morals are superior to mine. Guess what? They're just different and no better than mine.

Good. You aren't a moral absolutist at least. No, I'm telling you that your morals aren't absolute and shouldn't be forced on others. Follow them yourself. If others want to, they can choose to. Forcing them on people isn't about morality; it's about authority.

We have a democratic system. Everyone votes the way they choose, majority wins. Welcome to the real world.

We have a democratic system that explicitly says someone's beliefs shouldn't be forced in others (assuming you're in the US). We literally have in our constitution that no religion shall be enforced. Sure, we have people who want to destroy that an enact authoritarian rule, because they think their beliefs are better than others, so this might not always be true, but for now it is.

There is a big emotional and psychological toll to be used by another person for money.

Again, you're literally doing this if you have a job. I don't disagree. You just only have an issue with sex. If you think this is valid, explain why sex is different.

How do you fix crippled mental health?

That's part of why we have so many issues in the US. People are selling their lives to corporations to survive, and they're given no mental Healthcare to help them. Mental Healthcare is a thing though and it can be provided.

You think someone who has been used over and over by other people for their own pleasure is going to be in better shape than that emotionally damaged person? Absolutely not. NO ONE comes out of sex work undamaged - its literally the price of participation.

No one comes out of capitalism undamaged. There are some porn stars and brothel workers (with protections) who seem to be perfectly healthy though. It's the lack of safety nets and protections that cause issues. The same thing is true for factories before we had safety nets, or any other kind of work. Sex work is work, and all work needs protections so workers aren't abused and taken advantage of. Without it, of course there are issues. Its not because of the type of work though, it's the lack of protections.

You have a weird issue with sex, where you think it's "being used" if you have sex. I haven't done it for money, but I've had plenty of loveless sex, and it doesn't have any magical powers. It's just an act.

We're all being used every day. There's no difference when it's sex. You keep saying there is, but providing no reasoning other than just that it's true because you believe it's true.

There are a lot of sex workers who get through it all and are as perfectly healthy as the rest of us, sometimes more. Yes, there are some who don't, but that's true for everything. Sex work has the double issue of a lot of it not being legal and having no protections, and also attracting people who aren't as well already. We should be doing more to make it legal so we can help them, not the opposite. Making it illegal doesn't make it go away, it only ensures the issues you're pointing out are more common.
