The problem with “supporting sex workers” are the number of people that first feel the need to first disclaim that they do not partake. Consider the sentence “I support gardeners, but myself would never use their services.” Like of course, you don’t need a gardener in order to think they should have the same protection from random and systemic abuse from the general public and the legal system.
Good for you? I guess? Do you also feel the need to announce that fact when you announce your support for sex workers and their rights or what’s the point here?

Yea it gives me big ick when people do that. Oh good heavens no I would never use the services of a sex worker. But er, support them, I guess.
The lack of self awareness hurts
Sorry, I’m not going to have sex with someone that would do it for the amount of money I’d be willing to pay for sex.

Probably equally strange to say that I consider trying to hire one from time-to-time though.
