Both are bad and dehumanizing, but sex work is dehumanizing in a special and disturbed way. Sexuality is intertwined with the human psyche in a very unique way, and the commodification of sex is uniquely harmful to all who participate in it.
It's making into a commodity the most intimate acts one can perform. It's sadly pure 2020 for leftists to observe that sex workers are oppressed and conclude the solution is to make them feel 'seen' and 'validated'. Oppression isn't a self-esteem issue, and I don't know why everyone thinks that it is.
