Hi all! If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you’ll know the last six months have been great for me. I’ve overcome homelessness and established stable housing for myself, finally accessed transgender and mental health care I really needed, and have been adulting in a way that’s made me really proud of myself, a large part of that because of access to sex work! I slowly grew my self esteem and self image, and decided it was time for me to leave the sex work industry. Right after I made the decision to start saving for my exit, the anti-sexwork FOSTA/SESTA law passed. Advertising platforms so many sex workers (including me) relied on were quickly shutdown, and I and many other providers were left without access to the stream of safe work we’d all grown to depend on. I’ve had to work on much less safe, much less consistent platforms and have had a much harder time finding work. Clients know we’re more desperate than ever, so my boundaries are constantly pushed and screening is hard. I’ve never felt this unsafe working, but the lack of calls has made it so I’ve had no choice but to take bookings I’d usually turn down to be safe. With less work, it’s been hard to build any sort of savings for my exit. Im basically done learning how to bartend, and I have several job prospects which I’m so excited about! I see the light at the end of the sex work tunnel. I’d hoped to keep escorting this month while I lock down a bartending job and then taper off, but I’m worried I won’t even be able to find enough work to make that happen. I’m still looking for work and at this point I’ll take any calls I get, but I’m asking for help to get through this time. My rent, bills, MTA and grocery costs don’t disappear because I’ve decided to leave this difficult industry, which is a big reason I’ve had to put off my exit again and again. Anything I raise will mean less possibly unsafe bookings I have to accept! You’ve all watched me blossom, and I’m in a position to really level up in all areas of my life. Your emotional support, sweet compliments and encouraging messages have helped me through many a dark day, and now I’m asking for some support to become the best me I can be once and for all. You guys have helped me in a crunch before, and im excited to never be in a crunch like this again. This isnt life or death, so don’t feel bad at all if you can’t or simply don’t want to donate! I promise I still love ya - but if you enjoy my content and find yourself with some extra spending money, consider throwing a little my way ❤️
