Siouxsie Q
Siouxsie Q is the pseudonym of an American journalist, pornographic actress and outspoken sex workers’ rights activist who identifies herself as a feminist and sex worker. She is a podcaster, singer/songwriter and playwright as well as a widely read columnist with SF Weekly in San Francisco.
By way of her podcast, “The WhoreCast,” Siouxsie Q emerged as an outspoken opponent of California’s Proposition 35, Measure B, a part of the “Californians Against Sexual Exploitation Act.” In her broadcasts, she stated that she considered the proposition “a confusing piece of legislation” that too broadly expanded the definition of “trafficking” to include anyone who lived with or derived support from someone who is a prostitute. In response, The WhoreCast was established as “a vehicle to really humanize sex work” and as a way to oppose Proposition 35.
