So I dropped out after 3 months and went to work at a factory. The factory sucked. I worked ~54 hour weeks on an assembly line, often waking up at 4:30 am. The factory had no windows and I would go days without seeing the sun. I was 19 years old. 3/

After about a year of this I moved cities and vowed never to work for another boss again. I slept on a friend's couch and tried self employment through commercial photography. This failed (it was Idaho). I briefly dated a guy who introduced me to the concept of camming. 4/

I broke up with him, but needed money and decided to try being a camgirl. It was scary, but my first night I earned $60, which was extremely exciting. I kept doing it, sort of obsessively, and got very good. I started camming at 20 years old and did this for 5 years - 5/

Maybe this is naive, but I'd been immersed in the sex work world for so long and from such an early age that it just seemed default to me and I wasn't ashamed of it and wasn't treated worse because of it. So quitting camming and watching my "reputation" or whatever get better 9/

was pretty weird. Suddenly verified accounts were following me, and I was getting requests to be on good upstanding podcasts. But now, I'm in a position now where financially, it makes sense for me to start returning to sex work (Onlyfans). This has put me in a weird spot. 10/

I suddenly am *afraid* of reputation loss for sex work, which is bizarre because this sensation is new. I'm afraid of being dismissed or taken less seriously. I'm uncomfortable because sex work requires some level of suspension of authenticity that now feels very- 11/

Replying to @Aella_Girl
It's a reasonable fear, but for what it's worth the sort of LW/SSC rationalist crowd you appeal to as a person isn't likely to think less of you for doing sex work.
