Quotes by Kristy Cooper (?)

“It’s such an absurd idea that sex workers are the only ones selling themselves. All workers sell their time and labor. Sex workers just often get a better payout for their time.”
― Kristy Cooper, I Was a Stripper Librarian: From Cardigans to G-strings

“Unfortunately, everyone has the right to an opinion that infringes on the freedoms of others. At least at this point though, they don't have the right to actually take those freedoms away.”
― Kristy Cooper, The Departed
