Britain is proposing to remove the term "prostitute" from the criminal statutes because it carries too much stigma.And they certainly wouldn't want any stigma associated with their criminal statutes, right?

So now wave your conviction proudly, knowing that it will carry a kinder, gentler sort of name to lessen the stigma of being convicted! Sheesh!

Your restraining orders against me are only good in IL. You’ll have to think of other ways to get rid of me here.

Well, it does look like the word is available if no one else is using it.

The new bill introduces measures to try to get sex workers out of the industry, and in effect decriminalizes prostitution for those who are not considered persistent.
O.K., but the real question will now be how can you have prostitution without "prostitutes?

The new bill introduces measures to try to get sex workers out of the industry....If they can call prostitutes "sex workers" and what they do an "industry", then they have already done great damage to the integrity of language. So rather than use the unwieldy expression "those who sell sex persistantly," might I suggest something more appropriate for a worker in an industry: like, "Happy Time Management Technician." A newbie to the industry could have "Trainee" attached to title and then she (or he) could work up to "Assistant" and really experienced whor....excuse me -- technicians-- could become "Seniors" and eventually switch "Technician" to "Specialist." And not to leave out pimps and madames, maybe appropriate executive titles could be arranged for them.
To: Millee
Well, they already eliminated terrorist from their vocabulary, so why not eliminate prostitute?
I also think murderer is “outdated”. How about “breathing interruption technician”?
