The fetishes of transphobes are hurting trans content creators
Throwaway because I have some crazy fans.
I'm a fairly successful onlyfans model. I started my career on Reddit before moving to OF. Reddit is the number 1 place to start an adult content career and I've helped many girls use Reddit as a springboard for their OF careers with much success.
Well a girl, let's call her J, contacted me recently about starting an OF. J, is a talented and gorgeous trans woman who's been thinking about starting her own OF page. She's got all the hallmarks of a good OF model, but because she's a trans girl she can't seem to get a good start on Reddit.
Soooo many subreddits have rules prohibiting trans girls, and the ones that don't see trans content downvoted and crushed by the transphobes. The more I looked, the worse it got. I
was going to tell her to post to some small fetish-focused subreddits, but it turns out a LOT of these subreddits prohibit trans content.
I've spent days on this, but it's clear that the system itself needs to change. For all the talk about how Reddit is pro-trans, it fails to help trans women express themselves in the most vulnerable way: adult content. The fact that two women have wildly different experiences in Reddit's NSFW communities is insane.
It shouldn't have to be this hard for trans women to thrive on Reddit. It's time for Reddit's adult communities to step up and make the necessary changes. Transphobes shouldn't be able to let their fetishes marginalize trans women.

Edit: I just posted to the offmychest subreddit and now I realize how much I screwed up when I said "Reddit is pro-trans." Nothing could be further from the truth.
