Dan Bledwich is a 28-year-old sex worker and writer who lives in Melbourne. Dan dropped out of University of Wollongong’s Creative Writing degree (does it show?), and now divides his time between writing his first novel, poetry, punk, and being an agitator for social change. As a caveat, Dan acknowledges that he has never done street-based sex work before, and thus when using the words we/our/us, is referring to his sex worker peers as a whole. Dan blogs at backwardsbackwoods.com. His twitter handle is @singult

Sex work and gentrification

Dan Bledwich

Sex worker spaces are dynamic, hectic environments. They are almost always temporary, as workers come and go, and non-peers, ‘muggles’, tramp through for whatever reason. From smoky green rooms in brothels and strip clubs, peeps booths, red light district parks and streets, to the offices of sex worker organisations, they are all rich and tumultuous. I love them.
