With the apology, the protest collective #EveryBODYVisible took off. They got organized. By emphasizing solidarity with other stigmatized groups, they mobilized a collective voice to reconstruct the sex-work stigma more broadly. 7/11

We theorize stigmatization as disruptive for a stigmatized group’s communicative connections to (non-)stigmatized others. Stigmatization communicatively separates affected groups. 3/11
