Silencing people by deeming them too incompetent to speak for themselves is oppressive. For example, not respecting the preferred terminology of people who are working for health, safety, and the rights of sex workers on a day to day basis, in the thick of the frontlines, conducting ethical research about the needs of sex workers on the street, etc.  Discriminating against people based on their occupation, is oppressive.  For instance, lobbying to have all their customers criminalized; closing down strip clubs or outlawing them in certain municipalities; police raids on legitimate businesses taking the "trafficked" women out in handcuffs.  Presuming to speak on behalf of all sex workers, ignoring their voices, and lobbying against safe work spaces, is oppressive.  For example, former sex workers who had terrible experiences referring to all sex workers as "prostituted."

I hope to be a priveleged business owner, as I have not made a profit yet.  But I admitted my business owner status as an invitation to disparage me (as I knew you would).  I stand as one sex industry business owner who is not afraid of your oppressive tactics.  Your words don't say anything about me.  But they sure say something about you.  Prejudiced.
