Why are demographics not defined by their sexuality (disabled, PoC, english-second-language) more likely to make sexual/nudity content, and hence be more affected by this issue?

I'm big on egalitarianism, but I'm not keen on co-opting unrelated groups in order to make your case sound more important.

The letter doesn't say they are more likely to make such content, but that the negative effects are more harmful to people who are already more vulnerable.

The whole first paragraph is completely overbearing. "Quick, pull in every non-mainstream group we can think of, and then describe them all as literally in fear of death from an ambiguous policy about fringe content. Oh, and of course all these people rent off landlords so nasty that they won't accept a single delayed rental payment and they'll end up homeless if that happens". It's completely indefensible hyperbole.

Because personal identity becomes more important to people in sexual content, and so sexual content is a disproportionate market for people in those demographics?
