Virginia Middle School Libraries Carry Book Praising ‘Sex Work’ to Earn Cash For Sex Hormones

According to Iris Gottlieb, sex work is just like “being a store clerk, an architect, or a freelance writer.”

“Seeing Gender,” a book that teaches children that “sex work” – which is generally considered to be prostitution, but sometimes includes pornography – is just a normal job like any other, and can be used to get money to buy cross-sex hormones, is currently on the shelves of a number of libraries in Virginia, including multiple middle schools.

Seeing Gender, written by “queer author and artist” Iris Gottlieb, is an illustrated book specifically designed for teenagers, and is described on her website as an “of-the-moment investigation into how we express and understand the complexities of gender today”:

“This book is an essential tool for understanding and contributing to a necessary cultural conversation, bringing clarity and reassurance to the sometimes confusing process of navigating ones’ identity. Whether LGBTQ+, cisgender, or nonbinary, Seeing Gender is a must-read for intelligent, curious, want-to-be woke people who care about how we see and talk about gender and sexuality in the 21st century.

In a chapter entitled “Sex Work,” it teaches children that sex work, also known as prostitution, is a normal job, just like “being a store clerk, an architect, or a freelance writer,” noting that having to work for a living is an “unfortunate” thing that everyone has to do. “Sadly, sex work is generally misunderstood, judged, and criminalised,” Gottlieb continues.

Quoting the book “Meaningful Work: Transgender Experiences in the Sex Trade,” the book notes that sex work can be used to help transgender individuals pay for cross-sex hormones, or other drugs. Gottlieb goes on to write that “high-end escorts” can “pull in half a million dollars a year.”

Despite discussing sex work and other adult topics, as Moms for Liberty Loudon noted, the book is currently in the libraries of a number of schools in Virginia, including middle schools. In Loudoun County, the book is available at Mercer Middle School, Sterling Middle School and Stone Hill Middle School. It is also available at Dorothy Hamm Middle School in Arlington County.

Valiant News was able to verify the information originally posted on Twitter. It is unclear in how many other school libraries the book is held, but the American Library Association did review Seeing Gender, and declared it to be a “beautiful and enlightening guide” for teenagers.

On the website that lists in which school libraries the book is held, Seeing Gender is noted as being of “adult level” interest, despite being held in middle school libraries.

Valiant News reported on Wednesday that the Arizona Department of Education has directed young children to online transgender chat groups run by Planned Parenthood linked groups and others.

    Address HUMAN TRAFFICKING, and you’ll address the “sex worker”!
    .
    Nevertheless, one form of HUMAN TRAFFICKING that has yet to be properly explored, is “SELF-TRAFFICKING” or “VOLUNTEER TRAFFICKING”!
    .
    And this is where the DSM-5 comes in handy… i.e., by placing “SELF-TRAFFICKING” or “VOLUNTEER TRAFFICKING” under the proper category of Self-harm/ Self-abuse (e.g., SCIENTIFICALLY LINKING this Anastrophéopathy [Behavioural Pathy] to suicidal tendencies, self-mutilation, drug-addiction, alcohol use and even smoking… but further, to social-harm, in the light of the deliberate transmission of “social diseases” for personal gain [financial, or sexual]).

    Prostitution is illegal in most states. The book and author is promoting illegal activities to children. The books should be removed from the libraries and any person,including the authors and publishers should be charged with promoting illegal activities to children
