It says normalise not mandatory.
People shouldn't be frowned upon when they date someone who works in that area.

"It's been around for a long time" is a bit of a nonsensical arguement in terms of this context.
`
Shaming the fuck out of prostitutes has been around for a long time, too. Strapping women in fits of "hysteria" to beds for days or weeks at a time was part of a profession.
`
Cockfighting is a profession.

Overseeing slaves and beating the ones who weren't working hard enough was one too.

Something existing for a long time does not make it good, or valid, by default.
`
And I'll never say anyone should actively seek out people who date sex workers or whatever for the express purpose of shaming them. But you've said nothing here that convinces me that dating someone who is paid to cheat on you (even if only in the physical sense) should be regarded as a normal thing to do
