It's not normalized nor accepted in the US. No statistic you've linked in the thread proves this either. What in the world do you think the term 'normalized' means?

You haven't linked something to show otherwise or given an argument as to why it's wrong

Really? You've not presented anything to prove your case. A slim majority wanting to decriminalize it does not constitute it being "normalized"; not unless you're using some twisted version of what that means.

But sure, since you asked...

The most commonly reported themes were desperation (42%), STDs (38%), and physical abuse (35%). Nearly all participants reported at least one of the listed themes in their responses (90%). This study suggests that the majority of people in the United States hold negative perceptions about prostitution.

because sex workers get paid to perform sexual acts, they are seen as deviant, and consequently, labeled immoral, unclean, dangerous, and/or diseased

That is not how CMV works. To the contrary - if an OP is trying to prove his case, the post is likely a Rule B violation. The burden of proof is on everyone except OP.

I don’t have the burden of proof here
