मैं इस बारे में लिखती हूँ कि कैसे मैं स्ट्रिपिंग (नर्तकी के रूप में काम करने) की तरफ आकर्षित हुई क्योंकि मुझे अपने शरीर को लेकर सहज महसूस नहीं होता था, लेकिन इसके अलावा पत्रकारिता चुनने के पीछे कई और साधारण वजहें भी हो सकती हैं। हो सकता है किसी ने बचपन में कोई आघात झेला हो जो उसे नर्स या वकील बनने की प्रेरणा दे, लेकिन चूँकि लोग सेक्स वर्क को बुरी नज़र से देखते हैं, इसलिए वे आपके अतीत में किसी दर्दनाक पल को ढूँढ निकालते हैं और कहते हैं, "यह रहा!"
I write about how I was attracted to stripping because I didn't feel comfortable with my body, for instance, but there could be plenty of not-so-good reasons why I chose to go into journalism, too. Maybe someone had a trauma in childhood and it led them to become a nurse, or a lawyer, but because people stigmatize sex work they try to find a traumatic moment in your past and say, "There!"

सच तो यह है कि नस्लवाद व्यवस्था का हिस्सा है, इसलिए यह ज़ाहिर है कि कभी-कभी क्लबों के अंदर भी यह देखने को मिला। लेकिन मैंने क्लबों के बाहर भी नस्लवाद का कड़ा सामना किया है।
The thing is that racism is systematic, so of course it sometimes manifested itself within the clubs. But I have certainly experienced racism outside of the clubs as well.

इस किताब को लिखते समय मैं यह बिल्कुल स्पष्ट करना चाहती थी कि वेश्यावृत्ति को अपराध की श्रेणी से बाहर कर दिया जाना चाहिए। लेकिन हो सकता है कुछ लोगों ने उन बातों पर ध्यान ही न दिया हो जिन्हें दूसरों ने गहराई से समझा। 'ऑल आई कुड बेयर' में, मैं बहुत ही सहज और बातचीत के अंदाज़ में यह बयां करने की उम्मीद करती हूँ कि कैसे स्ट्रिपिंग भी दूसरे कामों की तरह ही एक आम काम है।
In writing the book I wanted to make it very clear that I feel prostitution should be decriminalized. But some people might have breezed by those aspects that others took the time to notice. In All I Could Bare, I hope I relate in a conversational way how stripping is a lot like other types of work.

मैं हमेशा से वेश्यावृत्ति को लेकर उत्सुक रही हूँ। बचपन में मैंने शब्दकोश में इसका मतलब देखा था और मुझे याद है कि मैंने सुना था कि ईसा मसीह वेश्याओं के साथ रहा करते थे। मेरा ध्यान हमेशा वेश्याओं पर ही केंद्रित रहता था।
I've always been fascinated with prostitution. I looked it up in the dictionary as a child, and I remember hearing that Jesus would hang out with prostitutes. I would always focus on the prostitutes.

क्लबों के माहौल में, और शायद पूरे सेक्स कारोबार में, नस्ल का मुद्दा बहुत पेचीदा हो जाता है क्योंकि आप किसी को ऐसी चीज़ या ऐसे इंसान के पैसे चुकाने के लिए मजबूर नहीं कर सकते जिसे वह नहीं चाहता, चाहे उनकी वह चाहत (या अनिच्छा) नस्लवाद से प्रेरित हो या न हो।
Within the context of the clubs, and perhaps the sex business as a whole, the issue of race becomes very complicated because you can't force someone to pay for something - or someone - that they don't want, whether their desire - or lack thereof - is motivated by racism or not.
