00:00So you mentioned advocacy.

00:02Yeah.

00:03Obviously, I have to bring up the fact that, you know, we worked on the Hands Off My Porn campaign.

00:10We did the best we could.

00:12Things did not go the way that we hoped.

00:14Trump was elected.

00:16How are you feeling about 2025?

00:19It's weird.

00:20It's weird.

00:20First of all, thank you for bringing me into Hands Off My Porn and doing all the work that we all did and continue to do.

00:27So I'm feeling, I am feeling.

00:31I'm having a lot of feelings.

00:34And this always, you know, I say that like politics, especially electoral politics, it's kind of like a cicada sport.

00:40You like come out like a weird roach, you know, every couple of years, do your thing.

00:44Then you go back and like kind of have to rest.

00:46But we cannot rest, right?

00:48There's so much to do.

00:50There's so much on the line specifically for, you know, our trans siblings in this industry.

00:56Like that is who is going to, that is who is really, I think, folks may come for first.

01:02It's already happening, right?

01:03It's already happening at the legislative level to try to limit access for trans people.

01:09And I think it's so important that everyone realize just how much we lost when Nazis rose to power.

01:16How much the trans community lost when Nazis rose to power in World War II.

01:20There was an entire library and hospital, like full of information on transsexual and transgenderism.

01:30Like, and that was, it was burned.

01:31It was burned.

01:32Yes.

01:33I didn't know that.

01:34Yeah.

01:34Like cabaret, right?

01:36The musical.

01:37We see this world of gender bending and performance and queerness.

01:42Like that was alive.

01:43It was like it is now.

01:46It was like that in Germany before the Nazis rose to power.

01:49So we have a lot to lose and we've lost it before.

01:52And we just cannot let it happen again.

01:55And we have to, us as cis people who access white privilege and have privilege and access

02:01to resources and money, like we just have to put it all on the line for the folks who

02:06are most marginalized and who are really going to get the brunt of this authoritarian Christian

02:11nationalism that we are, we are seeing rise to power in this country.

02:13So protect your trans siblings at all fricking costs, protect brown and black performers

02:21and immigrant performers and, and families of immigrants.

02:24Like that's, it's about to get very serious.

02:26And I don't know exactly what the move is, you know, traditional lobbying and legislate.

02:33I don't want people to become, um, uh, like to give up hope on democracy, but I think our

02:40strategies need to change.

02:41And first and foremost, we have to keep each other safe.

02:44We have to get our resources on lock and make sure that, you know, our physical bodies are

02:50safe first before we go start, um, trying to engage with the current systems of power.

02:56Totally.

02:56And one of the laws of power is to like throw people off balance, right?

03:00Because they're scrambling to like get their footing again.

03:02And I feel like so much of what this administration is doing is like an abusive relationship.

03:08They're trying to throw you off balance.

03:10So you are just left scrambling and you, it's hard to tell and it's hard to pinpoint the

03:14bad things they're doing when you're feeling like it's all chaos, which is what I think

03:17so many of these administrative picks are.

03:19It's just like throw shit at a wall and create chaos.

03:22And so people don't really realize what's happening.

03:24And it's, you know, it's bad, manipulative, abusive boyfriend's tactics, except it's

03:30our government currently.

03:31That's like politics, like one-on-one.

03:33Yeah.

03:34I mean, they do it all the time.

03:35Like, like let's create some like hysteria over shit that doesn't matter.

03:39So we can slide this actual, like really important and effective legislation under the door.

03:45Absolutely.

03:46Quietly.

03:46So what I keep telling everybody is to like, try to not be thrown off because it's not

03:50real until it's real.

03:52Right.

03:52But pay attention.

03:53Yes.

03:53Because they're trying to make things real that really matter and like, don't get thrown

03:58off by the like noise that's happening around you.

04:01Yeah.

04:01Yeah.

04:02But it's so hard to sort through that, right?

04:04Because social media has become so polarized.

04:06I know.

04:07So it just depends on where you're getting your social media from.

04:10And then the algorithm picks what you're watching and then feeds you more of the same.

04:15So, you know, and, and, you know, places like Twitter, which is like so, so MAGA now.

04:21Go Blue Sky.

04:21Yeah.

04:22I mean, I just like, I'm just on there and I'm just getting fed all this stuff.

04:26I'm like, where is this coming from?

04:27I don't.

04:27I didn't follow this person or the person that posted it.

04:30Why is this a suggestion?

04:31This person just keeps popping up in my feed.

04:33I'm like, who is this?

04:34I didn't follow them.

04:35Yeah.

04:35Like, I don't want to see this content.

04:37I've actually, honestly, like, I haven't really gone on Twitter since the election.

04:41Turn off all your notifications and put it on the back page.

04:43Because I'm just like, I just like, I can't.

04:45And like, also the infighting in the industry too.

04:48I'm like, it's just like.

04:49It's not, it's not a good place for pretty much anything at this point.

04:52And again, looking at history, this is part of the fascist playbook, right?

04:56You, you buy a publication, you buy a, in this case, a town hall.

05:01And what was Twitter pre-Musk?

05:03It was an incredible resource for activists.

05:06Yeah.

05:06Too bad, so sad.

05:08Like, of course, of course he bought it.

05:10Of course.

05:11Like, and so it's really important that we get something like we had in like 2012 Twitter

05:17back away for us to add.

05:19So I have faith in Blue Sky.

05:20I'm not on there yet.

05:21I do have a URL parked.

05:23It's the same, Suzy Q Media.

05:25Michael's on there.

05:26But we all need to decide.

05:28And I think that Blue Sky is the best choice.

05:30We have to get off Twitter.

05:31It is a fascist tool at this point.

05:34That's all it is.

05:34We saw during the election, like everyone pretending like it's fine.

05:38But I mean, when we were working on Hands Off My Porn, I was like, can we buy some ads

05:41on Twitter?

05:42No.

05:43And yet every single ad that I, I could not go three tweets without seeing a MAGA ad.

05:47Yeah.

05:48So it's just like, that's not a safe place.

05:50Yeah.

05:50That's not a safe place.

05:51That's not a place for democracy.

05:52That's not anything like it was when it started, when most of us got on there and built the freaking

05:57platform.

05:58So it's tough, but you know, the MAG-its, pardon me.

06:03I got off Twitter at a certain point.

06:06Remember when DJT was kicked off before the sale?

06:11Truth Social became a thing.

06:13And like, can we say that Truth Social did not like help Republicans gain power?

06:19It definitely did.

06:20It definitely did.

06:21So we need our Truth Social.

06:23And I think that might be Blue Sky for now.

06:25We'll see.

06:25I actually signed up for Blue Sky a long time ago.

06:28And then I was wondering what happened to it.

06:30I hadn't like posted on it.

06:31And then it's been popping up again.

06:33I was like, I've got to go back in there.

06:34Yeah.

06:34I'm confident.

06:35But again, we keep us safe.

06:37We are, you know, an incredible industry.

06:39And as long as we don't allow white supremacists and TERFs, which is trans-exclusionary radical

06:49feminists, people who don't think trans women are women or that trans people should have

06:52the same rights that they should, which is all the same rights we all have.

06:56But we can't let those themes, like, you know, come into our community.

07:00And, you know, there's controversy about, you know, the list or whatever.

07:04People who supported MAGA and GOP candidates such as Trump.

07:10And, you know, we have to call out violence and oppression and isms when we see them.

07:18You know, it's like we have a predominantly trans crew.

07:23And we make predominantly trans porn.

07:25And for folks who watched your first interview with me know I come from a peep show background

07:30in the Lusty Lady Theater, which only hired cis women as dancers.

07:33But the reason our lights stayed on as a business was the trans porn in the arcades.

07:39Like everything in this industry happens because or happens now because black and brown folks

07:45and trans folks built the adult industry.

07:48And like it's really on the backs of folks who have done so much work and get the short

07:53end of the stick every minute.

07:56And so it's very important that we just stand in solidarity with the most marginalized right

08:01now and not let, oh, that person is fine, even though they actively don't support trans

08:06people, even though they may shoot with them.

08:09Like, ew.

08:10Get away.

08:11Sorry.
