TE: Tori Easton

Tori Easton stars in Muses, a much talked about, much hyped feature in 2023. The Adult Time Production should do very well in the upcoming awards season. For Tori, it marks a turning point in her career. She’s secure enogh in her own skin to step away from her own insecurities and really shine. For her, getting here has been no easy feat.

Her success up to this point is something she never takes for granted, and shows no signs of slowing down. We begin our discussion talking about Muses.

SW: Tell me about the scene. What is it and all that?

TE: Muses. is being produced and directed by Ariel Demure, a good friend and performer of mine. This is her first time directing a scene. And she is basing it off so there was an adult time series called Muses where the girls got to design their own fantasy and got to create their own scene. So she’s brought back all of those same girls, and we’re all doing a Greek goddess-style scene. And it’ll be on DVD and release to OnlyFans as well.

SW: What can you tell people about Ariel as a director?

TE: She’s amazing. I mean, she’s hand-making all of these girls ‘ costumes, and there’s twelve girls in total, all trans, and she’s hand-making all of their costumes, hand-selecting jewelry, and accessories. She’s really pouring her heart out into this. I can only imagine how well she’ll do on an actual set.

SW: Did she reach out to you? Did you ladies discuss this in advance? How did all that come up to do the project?

TE: She’s mentioned it before over this past year, that it was an idea that was rambling around in her head. And then finally, she just wanted to pull the trigger and was ready to do it. And so she’s working with some of our team and creating it. We’re very excited.

SW: You mentioned that it’ll also be available on your OnlyFans. Do you prefer at this point in your career to be doing OnlyFans type stuff, or do you still like the big productions and all that?

TE: I prefer a balance of both. I love going on set to studio work. I think it’s just fun. I love to get to see people. It’s a great way to meet new people because otherwise, you’re just seeing people on Twitter or whatever, social media. And so it’s nice to go out and actually meet these people and to get to know them. And I feel like it brings a lot of people to my OnlyFans, which is more my personal and where I stick more time into.

SW: Can you tell us how one might find you on OnlyFans?

TE: My only fans is Tory Easton, and that is the same for all of my socials.

SW: Do you update every day?

TE: Yes. My OnlyFans is updated every day, and I am on every day for chats.

SW: From your perspective, to be successful on OnlyFans, do you feel it’s more about personality, or do you think people want to watch you get boned or have sex?

I’m not sure. I guess it can go either way. So I guess there’s a lot of fans who probably base their attraction on their chats and the DMs and getting to know certain performers. So I guess for them, it would be personality. And then there’s some who just you know are more hardcore and just more about the quantity of videos. And so I think I try to have a mixture of both. That’s why I always stay on top of chats and DMs.

SW: They’re not in a sexual nature, are they? Are they just chats?

SW: They can be of a sexual nature. A lot of people enjoy that, but a lot of it’s also just normal you know day-to-day conversation. And a lot of my fans will just ask me questions like getting to know me, really.

SW: When you create content, do you create stuff you want to shoot or stuff you think will sell?

TE: I get to create stuff that I like. And that’s what’s mostly sold to my OnlyFans. Luckily, I’m pansexual, and so I have more leeway of stuff that I like. But yeah, for the most part, it’s just stuff that I like and am excited to shoot.

SW: Do custom work, like custom orders? TE: Yeah, I do. Yeah.

SW: What’s the craziest request you got from a customer?

TE: Oh, the craziest. I guess I haven’t gotten anything too crazy, but I’ve gotten really weird like requests to twerk using toys to really just questionable songs, songs that are just not twerking music that I always find a little comical. But I haven’t gotten anything too absurd.

SW: Two companies that you’ve done a lot of work with Groovy and Adult Time, they both seem in different places in the industry where Groovy seems to have really started with the transgender and built it up and everything. And then Adult Time, which, to me, and you can tell me if I’m wrong, seems like it pushed trans genre over the top because trans gear has always been popular, but now it seems like it exploded in the last three or four years. Would you agree, disagree?

TE: It really has exploded, yes.

I believe it was Adult Time and Trans Angels who were probably those two main and Gender X as well, those three main companies that pushed us out there. But it was really Adult Time who really gave us those real scenes with real scripts that weren’t the basic you know calling us derogatory terms or just the basic kind of somewhat offensive oftentimes scenes.

And so I always have a great appreciation for that company. It also seems like what we did definitely really was the pioneer for trans porn. And if it was not for them, we would not be in any part of the industry.

SW: It also seems to me, and tell me if I’m wrong that the mainstream actors and actresses are all now shooting trans stuff where before maybe it was they wouldn’t do it.

TE: Yeah. Not only was it frowned upon, it was heavily unencouraged by studios and agents and whatever because it was either assumptions of them thinking that we are unclean or just that they don’t want their talent being around us. They think it’s bad or we could get them to lose work. And that was the old ideal.

Sometimes that ideology still lives today, but luckily, it’s fading out.

SW: Was there a movie, a scene, or something you felt that kind of opened the floodgates for that, that made it more acceptable?

TE: That’s an amazing question. But I have only been in the industry now for two years. And if there were a scene that pushed it over the edge, it wasn’t when I was around. It would have been I would imagine the girls like Audrey Kate or Aubrey Kate, Natasha Dreams, Natalie Mars who really had those scenes in the times where they really were like, ‘No, we’re here. You’re going to accept us.’ And then when I came around, I got to have the privilege of being rewarded with all the things they created, so.

SW: Well, without kissing your butt, you’ve been in the business for two years and you’ve blown up. Do you attribute that to anything? Is it just our work? Is it luck?

TE: I don’t know. I was very privileged to get to work with Vex Supple when I had first started in the porn industry, and I was their first trans model, and I’m always very grateful to them for that. And so, I was able to be pushed out very fast in the same way that an assist performer would be able to.

But besides that, I guess it’s just I truly enjoy and love what I do. And maybe that shows to the people I work with. And maybe that’s why they want to book me, because I’m happy to be on set or it shows on camera or something. But besides that, I don’t know.

SW: Do you feel you’ve established yourself in the business at this point?

TE: I feel as if I’m getting there.

SW: Will it be an award that you feel it will establish you? Will it be a role? Will it be a layout? A movie scene?

TE: Another amazing question. I don’t know exactly what I would have to what goal I would have to reach in order to consider that. I guess we’ll have to see. I guess maybe once I hit my third year, I feel like maybe three years in the industry is when you hit that point.

SW: Are you surprised that you’ve been in the business that long so far? Because careers at this point seem pretty short.

TE: I’m not necessarily surprised because when I started, I was very unsure of what was going to happen with my future. And I expected that I would probably be in porn until I was at least like twenty-five-ish, maybe, and that’s kind of what I thought at the time. I don’t know what I think now. I think I might honestly be in it for much longer with OnlyFans and how comfortable I’ve grown with managing my OnlyFans. So yeah, I don’t think I ever expected to leave very fast.

SW: How did you get into business in the first place?

TE: My best friend is Jade Venus. I’m sure you know her. We grew up and went to middle school together, actually. We moved out of our homes together when we were like fifteen and grew up together. And she started in the industry a little less than a year before I did. And she, you know, kind of nudged me in that way and recommended it. And I got to see how it had changed her life for the better; it was never something that was in my mind before. It was never something I really even considered or knew was a possibility.

SW: Prior to getting in the business, had both of you seen adult material?

TE: Adult material, yes, but not….I had never really watched Trans porn, and I didn’t really even know that there was an industry of it. The only trans performer that I knew of before porn was Natalie Mars. And I had only seen her because I followed her on Instagram because she posted very pretty pictures. I didn’t even know she did porn. And some men would bring them up. Like men I had dated when I was a teen would ask me if I knew them because they think we all know each other or something. SW: When you saw trans porn material, did the thought ever cross your mind that I could do that?

TE: No, I did not. I didn’t think I would ever do anything on camera because I was never comfortable in my body in that way. So, I never considered porn. And then, as I said, I saw Jade and how it changed her life. And I thought, ‘Let me give it a try.’ I never thought it’d be something I would necessarily have as a full-time job, maybe just something I would just play with and see kind of where it went. And here we are.

SW: When you decided to get in the business, do you Google it? I mean, how do you make the actual transition into the industry?

TE: Well, so when COVID had hit, I tried Chatter Bait for a little while. And that is also when I made my OnlyFans for the first time. But of course, I was so new. No one knew who I was. I think I was eighteen, maybe almost nineteen. And I was recommended to Grubby from some Cheddar Bait fans who told me that they are more accepting to the new girls and to try it out. And so, I did my first grubby scenes when I was eighteen.

I had just moved to California, so I think that was kind of my push. And then I stayed away for about a year. And then when I was twenty I decided to sign with Next Level because I had seen some of their performers online and on Twitter and stuff, and I decided to reach out to them. And luckily, they were willing to take a chance on me.

SW: So you did one scene, then you took a year off, or did you do some work?

TE: I did a couple of scenes. I believe it was four scenes, and they were all with Buddy Wood from Groupie. And my co-star was Chris Epic for two of them, and then I did two solos and a VR, I believe.

SW: And did something happen to you? You just felt you wanted to get out of the business?

TE: At the time, I think I just maybe wasn’t ready. I also never looked at it as like, ‘I want to be the top star. ‘I never thought of even being a star in it. I did it because I was eighteen and needed the money. And then I just decided to go do my thing. I never really even knew at that time that there was such a large industry behind it until later on.

SW: You get back in at that point, did you then have thoughts of this being a career, or even now, is it a career, or is it just a way to make money?

TE: When I got back in with Next Level, then I kind of thought of it as like, ‘Okay. I will be doing this for a year, two years, maybe up to five.’ And so I don’t know if I would have, at that time, defined it as a career as much as it was a way for me to you know become financially stable and independent and whatnot, and then to be able to find out what I wanted to do with my life with that freedom. But now I’m still a little unsure. I do think though that I will stay in the industry for quite a while, definitely longer than I had initially imagined.

SW: And are you just performing? Are you directing, doing anything?

TE: I’m just performing. I don’t think I’m ready to jump in front of the or behind the camera.

SW: You mentioned earlier you went to middle school. Well, where were you from originally?

TE: I’m from Minneapolis.

SW: Born and raised?

TE: Born and raised. Well, outside of Minneapolis, but yes.

SW: Did you go to a public school, private school?

TE: I went to public school. There’s good public schools in the outskirts of Minnesota and stuff.

SW: In grade school, did you have a favorite subject?

TE: My favorite subject was history, and it’s still kind of my favorite subject. I oftentimes just go and read or watch videos about old historical events, something I still find very interesting.

SW: I know you were really young at that point, but did you have any idea what you want to do with the rest of your life?

TE: Oh, I had no idea. I was bad with that. I definitely didn’t think I’d be doing porn. At the time, I maybe thought real estate or oh, God, I don’t even know.

I knew I wanted to go to college at the University of Superior really bad when I was in middle school because that’s where my sister went. But I had no idea for what.

SW: In high school, were you a popular geek, a nerd?

TE: Before I transitioned, I was popular. So I came out at twelve, but I medically transitioned at thirteen, meaning I started hormone therapy and stuff. And then after that, I mean, I was in a small town, and I was the first trans person to, you know, be in the area, especially going to school there. And so, I was well known. I wouldn’t say I was popular at that point. But I actually got a pretty good response from people for whatever reason. Maybe it’s just that my siblings were older than me and had grown up with most of the people from our town, and my parents were from there, so my family was respected. Maybe that had something to do with it. But I feel like most people’s Midwest youth stories are not as blissful as mine.

SW: Once again, without kissing your butt, it’s an amazing thing that you did at such an early age to make that decision to do it and then go all the way through. I admire you for that.

TE: Well, thank you.

SW: And at that point, was the transition quick with you that you decided you wanted to change? I mean, how does that process come up?

TE: So for me, and I mean, it’s different for everyone, but for me, it was always very clear. If you even look at a picture of me as a child, in ninety percent of them, I’m wearing women’s clothes, not because I was encouraged to wear that, but because that was if I was not allowed to wear that, I would have a full panic attack episode. And it got to the point where I’d break out in hives sometimes as a child because I was just so disgusted by wearing men’s clothes, which is so weird for a child to register that.

And I never knew trans was a thing. It wasn’t in people’s minds then. It wasn’t in the news. No one was talking about that. I always just kind of grew up thinking that I was different, and I was going to have to live with that. But as a child, I always knew I was a girl, I just didn’t understand why no one else viewed me that way.

And I grew up with two brothers who were both like the traditional American men who now own ranches and are getting married and so forth. And I was just so completely different; it was always very clear.

And then I had a couple of years from ten to twelve where I tried to conform and fit in with society and tried to you know play that masculine boy role, but I couldn’t. It took a toll. I mean, even in those two years when I was so young, it just didn’t fit.

And then online I found Gigi Gorgeous, the first trans person I ever saw, and it was the first time I ever heard that word. And it just clicked instantly. And I knew that was what I was, and it was amazing to finally have a word behind how I had always felt. And so at that point, I mean, I’ve always been a very determined, especially as a child, I was very determined. And at that point, I was immediately like, ‘I don’t care what anyone thinks. I don’t care if I’m heavily ridiculed. This is what I’m doing.’ And my parents were very supportive as best as a Midwest family who has never heard that word said before could be. They were very hesitant at first, not because they were unaccepting, but because they saw it as, you know, there child was changing their body so young, and it was hard for them to wrap their head around someone making that decision at such an early age, which is very understandable. But I was very blessed to have a mother who did all the proper research, took me to all the proper doctors and psychologists before eventually allowing me to go onto hormone blockers and hormone replacement therapy.

SW: For you, the transition, was it harder psychologically or physically?

TE: I think I would say mentally, actually. Because physically, I stayed natural. I didn’t really have any plastic surgery up until two years ago. It was really one of the first things I had done besides I mean, I had some fillers and stuff done when I was fourteen. But before that, I was all completely natural. I just went off my hormones and stuff like that. And that took a mental toll on me not getting transitional surgeries sooner because I had to stay in a body that I didn’t like, even though I was lucky enough to not watch it go in the opposite direction. I felt like I was stuck for years. I had that feeling, and I didn’t even realize it. And so then about two years ago, I finally decided to start doing the things I always wanted to. And once I opened it, it was just floodgates. And I did the big things. Granted, I haven’t really even done that much, but it just has made me so much more comfortable in my body. And those surgeries were painful, but I view it completely differently than if I were to just get hurt because I know it’s changing me for the better and for a way that I want to view it. And so I don’t even register it as the same thing.

SW: What was that like then when you make the transition at twelve years old? I mean, that must have been amazing to you and everybody around you.

TE: I mean, it was the most invigorating experience of my life, being able to just say, ‘This is what I’m doing.’ And I honestly would like to say that I’m kind of lucky that I got to transition a couple or years ago, but in the perfect time before everyone had an opinion on it, before it was in the zeitgeist because now there’s so many more people who are so impassioned in a bad way about it because it’s constantly being talked about and demonized. I got to come out in a time where people were like, ‘Never heard of it, but, okay. You look a little different, but have a good day.’ And so I was lucky in that way. But it was, for the most part, a very good experience and character-building, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

SW: You kind of just touched on the whole discussion people are having about it now, and you’ve actually done it at an early, at twelve. Which is a very controversial thing to some people.

TE: The way it’s talked about, especially by certain news outlets and people who are just uneducated on the topic, like to say that they’re being forced upon, or it’s like these kids are waking up and going, ‘I’m bored today. Where are my hormones when it’s not that way?’ I mean, as I said, my mother was amazing enough to take me to all the right doctors. First, we went to my just normal doctor. Then she referred me to another doctor who referred me to a therapist and then a different therapist to get another opinion, psychologist, and she had me do a psych evaluation. And she let me live in that realm for a year. Asking ‘can you deal with this your whole life the way people look at you? Are you prepared to always be looked at as the other?’ And to me, it was worth it. So, it’s not that it’s not as easy as people like to make it sound so that they can demonize it. Like, it’s some abusive thing to do to a child or to let a child do to them.

But I mean, when it comes to de-transitioners, it happens I believe it’s something like one percent of people who have started transitional surgeries or hormones who have actually de-transitioned. And to not allow such a large amount of people live their lives because of your excuse of one percent is just insane.

SW: It’s just total garbage, honestly. In high school, social life, was it hard for you to date?

TE: When I started transitioning, I didn’t date for a while. It wasn’t on my mind. I was so blissful in my transition and that I was getting to live the life that I wanted, that men and boys were not even on my mind. But when I got to, I believe it was my junior year, I had dated a boy. It was my first time, my first boyfriend. And I had moved schools. I had moved to my dad’s house in Montana, and I went to a new school where no one knew, and I didn’t tell anyone there at the time, including him. And we were dating for six months, and he did not know for five months of it. You know, it was high school. So, you know he just thought I was a very wholesome, nice Christian girl. But I ended up telling him and he was okay with it and actually liked it. And we stayed together for a month. And I was cheerleading at the time, and he was playing football. And I thought I got my classical cis fantasy. But after a month, he decided to tell everyone. And I got kind of ostracized. And that little fantasy of mine was stripped away, and I ended up dropping out of high school. Well, not dropping out, but I went into this program that Montana has. So, I still got my diploma and everything, but I left high school because of it. Because I didn’t want to do it over, and I didn’t want to live and be somewhere every day where I was being looked at as a freak.

SW: I’m sorry to hear that. You don’t deserve it. The whole discussion in sports now about people, where do you stand on that?

TE: For sports, it should be a case-by-case basis as it has always been. And when talking about it, we always should keep in mind that it’s like a good couple hundred people out of all of these athletes. That’s such a small percentage of people who are trans, who are in sports and in competitive sports, especially professional. It’s barely anything. And most of them aren’t placing besides a very few exceptions. And so to be passing laws over a dozen people, to me, is crazy. But when it comes to trans people being in sports in general, it should just be a case-by-case basis because hormones are very hard on one’s body. Compared to what I could do as a twelve-year-old boy compared to what I can do as a twenty-on-year-old trans female, that kid could have deadlift me, and I never worked out.

My body has completely changed. Muscle mass gone. I build fat much faster and easier. And so my body is much more comparable to a cis woman’s but if you’re comparing someone who started hormones within a year or even two years and they’re in competitive sports, and then I see where that problem comes up.

But it should really only be if, in my opinion, if they’re placing or taking a spot from another female athlete and they haven’t met a certain requirement of you happen to be, for example, on hormones of a certain dose for three years. I feel like three years is a good period. And maybe if it ever comes into question like they do drug tests, doing blood tests to make sure that people aren’t doing steroids and to make sure that they’re staying on their hormone regimen as well. I guess, could be an option. But I just think it’s crazy that for such a small group of people, it’s such a big deal or it’s being made into such a big deal.

SW: You kind of touched on throughout the whole discussion, but when you decided to make the transition, did you understand the trans community you were stepping into?

TE: No. So, I break it up into like there’s two different groups of trans women in my mind to where there is the trans women who want to be cis passing or cis normative, which is where I had always put myself.

And then there is the group that includes non-binary trans women or trans women who have just grown up around other trans women or grew up in a way that they got to come out and transition with people like them. And they’re much more in that community. I was never in that community whatsoever, and I didn’t really even understand it until I became good friends with Ariel Demure, who got to grow up working at a trans strip club in her early twenties and was always around trans women and got to transition in that space who brought me in, and I actually met more people.

But before that, I barely even knew any trans people. It was me and Jade.

SW: Do you still stay in touch with any of the people you grew up with before you transitioned? Do you still have any relationships?

TE: When it comes to friends, I’m not close with them anymore because I kind of ran off and did my thing. So, we just didn’t stay in touch. But most of them, I did know, yeah, because we went to school together before I transitioned. I stay in touch with my family. I didn’t for a little while because I moved out of the home at fifteen/sixteen because I wanted to go live my own life. And as I said, I was a very determined child. And if I wanted something or I wanted my life change in some way, I would stop at nothing to get that. And so, I moved out at fifteen and Jade had also moved out at the same time, and we moved in together and got our own place.

I didn’t stay in touch with my family for a few years, but over time, I got over everything, and we’re now very close.

SW: How did you and Jade meet?

TE: We went to the same school. Or we didn’t go to the same school, we went to neighboring schools, and she was in this program that would go around to different schools and have their seminars about stopping hate and stuff. And so she was from a school on the other end of the city that was much more progressive than my town, a school on the complete opposite end of Minneapolis from me. So we met when she had came over to our school to do one of their seminars. And ever since then, we have just been connected at the hip.

SW: Were you ever romantically involved or you just best friends?

TE: No. We were just always like sisters. I mean, we’ve worked together. The first time we ever actually had sex was a scene for Jim Powers at Gender X.

It actually won a T Award, but that was the first time we ever had sex.

SW: Had you had sex before you transitioned?

TE: Yes.

SW: How cool/strange/weird was it when you transitioned? Or was it not any of these things?

TE: It was only a couple of times before I transitioned. And before I transitioned, I was actually kind of disgusted by sex because I was so disgusted by my body. I just had this uncomfortable feeling when it came to having sex in that body. But then after I had transitioned and after a few years is when I actually became much more sexual and interested in sex again.

SW: At this point, you’re in the sex business. Is sex still a big part of your life you know because you go to work and you do it in theory?

From becoming a sex worker, is sex still a big part of your life outside of work? No.

TE: Even before porn, sex to me had become a monetary experience because I was, as you know, working. And so, it had kind of lost meaning to me in that way. And so, I only truly got sexual gratification from having a connection and everything before and everything after is kind of what it had developed. And then when porn started, it kind of started to change back to where I actually did start to actually have fun because I was performing. And so that’s kind of where the gratification came from. And now I pretty much only have sex on a set.

I don’t necessarily have time for it and/or it’s just not the same to me.

SW: Is it difficult for you to date a civilian? Do you even date civilians?

TE: It is difficult. When I started, I had been dating a man for two years. And I was doing porn for a year. But it became impossible just because he didn’t get it. He accepted it, but he didn’t get it. And to not be able to communicate with your partner about your day or really about anything, it’s not going to work out.

And so I’ve went on dates here and there since then with people who are just normal and not in the industry. And I always kind of come to the same conclusion as to where it’s just it doesn’t click because I can’t talk to them in the same way or that’s even if they are accepting of my job to begin with.

And a lot of people will be accepting if we’re you know casual, but it could be different if they expect to introduce you to their parents.

SW: Are the people you date expecting the Tory character when you go out with them, or are they expecting you? Is there a difference between the two?

TE: I have had ones that expect the character. And see, for me, it’s hard to describe the Tory character because I don’t notice when I’m giving that. But there are times that people have expected because they’ve seen me online, and I maybe didn’t know prior to a date that they were a fan in that way to where they expected me to act and talk a certain way. And sometimes that could be good because the relate to me in a good way.

They didn’t expect me to be who I am.

But it also I’ve heard them think it’s a bad thing because they expect me to be this walking porn flick. So those ones definitely didn’t work out.

SW: Do you think maybe you intimidate men? You’re good-looking. You’re a lot better experienced at sex than they are?

TE: I mean, I’ve always known I’ve intimidated men. I’ve always been that way because I’m tall. I’m pretty tall. And so I’m a little intimidating for sure. So I’ve always been accustomed to going up and talking to men first and breaking the ice. Otherwise, typically, men, the only thing they can think of is, ‘Wow, you’re tall’ which I guess it’s the first thing you notice.

But yeah, I guess I do. I don’t know if it’s necessarily appearance-wise, but definitely height plays a part.

SW: Assuming you were going to date somebody, would they have to be as tall or taller than you?

TE:No, there have been times in my life where I have thought that just because my height used to be an insecurity of mine. And being with someone taller than me made me feel little and just took it out of my mind for a short period of time back when I was insecure about it and I didn’t like it. But now I don’t care. I’ve grown comfortable with my height. Not just comfortable, but I’ve grown to like it. Some men may not, but I do. I don’t care if someone’s shorter than me. The first guy I dated was I think it was 5’10 ” football player who dated me.

SW: Correct me if I’m wrong. You seem to be a very chill person.

TW: Very chill. I guess I would say that. Yeah. SW: I guess my question would be, when you become Tory and you go to all these conventions, does that freak you out?

TE: It used to because I used to suffer from anxiety really bad. But that’s another thing I have to thank porn for is that it has really taken me out of my shell and has taught me how to deal with that and cope with that and grow up in a way. Now it doesn’t scare me, it excites me. But it used to. I remember my first few events. I was terrified. So the first time I ever went on stage, I was shaking in my heels.

SW: But your first Grooby award, what was that like when you went on stage to get it?

TE: My first TEA awards I did not win anything. None of my scenes had qualified because I had started later in that year. Nothing had come out by then. But I presented the lifetime achievement for Tom Moore. And I was so scared of being on stage, but I felt honored that Steven had asked me to do it. I have a lot of gratitude towards Steven because he’s given me many opportunities in my career and done everything that I feel as if he could to help me along and to support me.

SW: At this point in your career and your life, you’re a role model for people. What would you tell people you know if they ask you for advice? Anything, life, being in the business, anything?

TE: If someone were to ask me advice about the business, I would say just to be careful, to keep in mind that this is work, and to put it into a professional setting, and to keep it in that part of your mind, and to not get too involved, especially with certain people, because that can always go awry. And that’s how we have lost many young women, especially. So I think that would be my advice.

SW: We discussed it earlier in this thing, but you meet a 12-year-old who is thinking about transitioning. What do you tell them? TE: I would just ask them, you know what brought them to that decision. I wouldn’t necessarily just immediately encourage it because I don’t know their story. I don’t know anything about them. But if it was like my nephew, per se, my nephew’s 10. If he were to say that to me, it would seem to be a different reaction because I know he’s not trans. He’s always been a boy’s boy, but I would talk to their parents. I would speak to their parents and say, ” Hey, this is what my parents did. This is what my parents did wrong. Bless their heart, but there were mistakes made, as you do. I would just encourage them to not make those same mistakes. But it’s just that communication between the two because that’s where we went wrong a lot of the time is that I didn’t communicate with them what I needed too, so.

SW: For you, what’s the reality of being a trans star and all that versus what people might think it is?

TE: The reality? I think people would probably imagine it’s this hyper sexed up, crazy party lifestyle. And I guess you could do that. But for me personally, it’s given me the opportunity to create my life outside of porn how I want and to live my days how I want to live them, which is amazing. And so for me, it’s kind of quiet. I keep to myself. I keep to my small knit group of friends that I’m just very close with. I go out to clubs in West Hollywood a lot. And then sometimes I go through award seasons and stuff where it’s just, I’m so ready to get out and just take all my social battery out for the year and completely drain it sometimes. But I guess it’s different for everyone because I know some people who do kind of live that hyper sexual lifestyle because that’s just really what makes them happy and porn allows them to do that.

SW: You have a very inspiring story up to this point. Is there any maybe one specific thing that amazes you, inspires you, that you survived, etc?

TE: Oh, yes. There’s several things. I’ve been very lucky for whatever reason. When I was younger, I was around 18, 19. It was a time that I wasn’t in porn, but I had done my first scenes. I had fallen into drugs, as many people do, especially in this country and especially in Los Angeles. I am so very privileged that I got to get out of that alive and that I got to learn from it instead of being a victim of it. Thank you.

SW: Anything you want to say to all of your fans?

TE: That I love you, and thank you for your support. I hope I get to chat with you guys on OnlyFans and keep an eye out for some new stuff coming out.
