I'm on the diversity committee for this thing--please go on to register. There are scholarships available for all sorts of diversities, and though it is past the deadline, there's a possibility you could squeeze through. Luminaries like Scarlot Harlot, Veronica Monet, Leslie Bull, and Jeanette Angell will probably be coming. Affinity groups will be formed--etc etc etc
Plus, it's all in Vegas, baby, vegas. I myself will be lecturing on psych incarceration; forced drug treatment; the conception of pros as pathology even though it's obviously a socioeconomic phenomenon; anti-pros groups like Children of the Night and their complicity with jails and prisons; anti-trafficking groups that muddy it for everyone--sex workers in forced labor who can't reach out for help b/c they make immigration laws harsher and are complicit with INS, pther forced labor workers who can't get attention to their plight b/c the newsmedia would like something sexier to tittilate their audience, and workers who choose their sex work who are presumed to be brainwashed slaves; and finally, john schools, classes tricks are forced to go to during the rare occassions they get caught, where an incarcerated prostitute is dragged out and forced to tell them how they exploit women.
Neeedless to say, it's going to be fun, and you can all say your own mouthfuls during your affinity groups.
