Abstract

In pornographic industries, the transmasculine and non-binary genres are still regarded as a new and burgeoning niche. In this article, I examine the under-representation of transmasculine and non-binary people in the camming industry. The overlapping systems of cissexism, transmisogyny, and White supremacy structure the industry and micro-level interactions between workers and clients. Cissexism, transmisogyny, and racism overlap and have shaped consumer demand and access to employment in various sex markets–especially pornography–a trend we are now seeing change. With more radical transformation within online pornography, the camming industry will shift as well. I join the growing chorus of trans people and their allies who have called for a more sex-positive and celebratory focus on trans sexualities, especially in pornographic industries. A world with more inclusive and ethical porn is also a world where far more people can access sexual liberation.
