US needs a proud celebrity hooker

Oy.
Olympic track star Suzy Favor-Hamilton has been stripped of her invitation to the annual Disneyland Half Marathon after she was outed as an elite $600-an-hour escort
There's nothing wrong with making money with your body. Construction workers do it all the time. Unfortunately, that wasn't her response to the media. She apologized. For what, I don't know.

According to the article, Suzy Favor-Hamilton said she is "currently seeking psychological help for her problem." What problem? The depression she mentioned? Fine, see a shrink about your depression. But the article makes it sound like she needs psychological help because she was a hooker. I seriously doubt that.
 
I'd love to see women (and men) proudly stating that they're hookers. And I'd hope they would be welcomed into the human family. Hookers have always been a part of society. Why do we not respect the vital services they provide? I don't get it and I never will.
