Context: This clown car drove into an unrelated women’s-only sub and publicly tried to guess my professional identity based on my profile and Reddit avatar.

​

This behavior is completely out of line.

​

If sex workers want clients to know their identities on Reddit, they’ll make their stage names into their usernames or otherwise have that information on their profiles. There are plenty of providers who do so.

​

Trying to guess the professional identity of a provider you don’t even know, however — who is clearly striving to preserve her anonymity — is an attempted breach of privacy that is absolutely unacceptable.

​

I’ve never posted or commented here, which is the only place this person keeps their lone, latest comment up — they were active within the last hour, by the way — which means they’ve likely been digging on adjacent subreddits (my last industry-related post was two months ago, now deleted) and now other providers who frequent those forums are potentially at risk of having their working identities unwillingly compromised due to someone’s entitled audacity.

​

To be clear, he was totally off the mark, but I’m furious on behalf of my fellow workers who also value their privacy.

​

Ladies: I’m sharing my experience as a cautionary tale so you can take extra steps to protect yourselves if necessary. You probably already are, but this experience just serves as a reminder of why we must take the measures that we do.

​

Clients: Don’t be the villain in a cautionary tale.

PM me if you want the username of the offending party so you can block them. EDIT: Comment if you want me to PM you their username, my messages are locked down for precisely this kind of reason.
