Well, per the guide, both prostitute (noun), and prostitute (verb) are terms to be avoided, the former to avoid referring to someone by a single characteristic (eg they engage in sex work), while the latter because it correlates corrupt or unworthy purposes with sex work.

BTW, the page does helpfully have an email address for suggestions: ehli-suggestions@stanford.edu
In context it sounds more like they are soliciting more terms for inclusion, but I don't see why someone who earnestly pointed out some of the problems in the list couldn't send feedback.
