I'm a freelance writer by day, camgirl by night. I love both my jobs and can see myself doing both for years to come.
I'm scared of being outed to my writing clients, to my conservative father or to the college I'm planning on attending.
But... My writing draws from my life. I'm open about everything, from what I ate for dinner, to how I feel about my (vanilla) work, to having been abused by an ex, to having arthritis that renders me immobile half the time.
And I have a very supportive mom and best friend, who are both aware of my working in the adult industry.
So I've been really tempted to come out. Write an article about my experiences. Let the chips fall where they may.
I'm already discriminated against for being queer, for being plus size, for being disabled. And I don't want to work with vanilla clients or be friends with people who are bigoted against any of those things, or against sex work.
So would I really be losing anything by outing myself? Would I be gaining anything (other than feeling relieved that someone else won't out me before I out myself)? Or am I overlooking something huge that makes even considering this an enormous mistake?
I'd really appreciate your input.
