I'm Jack (he/they) and I write about sex work and transness. My linktree, where you can find my articles, published works, and newsletter: linktr.ee/JackVParker
We're fully funded and I am so so grateful to get to make this anthology, only going bigger and better and paying more sex workers than with projects before.
If you'd like to add extra support before the end of the Kickstarter, you've got 4 hours left!

Additionally, I wrote a piece about my experience of it for THORN (Trans Hooker Resistance Movement), available free here: jackviolet.com/2025/08/21/t...
Really excited to see this project hit its goal, and now aiming for stretch goals! I've contributed - won't you?

Last week the fundraiser covered more than half of the goal.
We're still in time, let's repeat that! ^~
A picture of the Kickstarter page for Transactional Intercourse, showing that the project has raised Β£11,676 of the Β£15,700 total goal with 325 backers and 4 days left to go.
With 4 days left, we're in the final stretch to get this funded! We've raised Β£11,676 so far of the Β£15,700 we need and it's all or nothing.
Help this project get the rest of the way there so it can be made - by pre-ordering a copy or sharing the campaign!

Swallowing Resentment
"Being a whore taught me to swallow resentment like nothing else. I learned to hide my disgust at clients' wealth and entitlement, dodging questions about my true opinions and stroking egos to keep them sweet."

Baby's privacy always comes first but oh my God my daughter is the cutest baby ever and it's so hard not to share pictures when she's only a week old and I can't risk her immune system to take her out and see friends. You'll have to trust me about how precious she looks now sleeping in my arms.

If this doesn't go through, there's no complaining about lack of representation later!

- Parenthood as someone considered unfit or wrong to raise children in multiple ways, as a trans person and as a sex worker. (This one by me!)
21.10.2025 11:52 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0- Parallels between coming out as trans and coming out as a sex worker.
- Coping with the dissonance between being fetishized for intersex characteristics by clients whilst family and friends may be unwilling to even acknowledge these differences.
- Anti-Asian racism and the stereotypes and jokes about trans sex workers in Asian countries.
- Creating porn for queer audiences as an independent sex worker and thereby retaking control of how we're viewed sexually.
- Working while stealth.
- How even trans and intersex allies fail to show support for the sex working population among us, and the nightmare of having to hide being a sex worker to be considered the respectable kind of intersex and/or trans person.
21.10.2025 11:52 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0- Institutional abuse of intersex people and how sex workers are uniquely vulnerable to it.
- Feeling powerful by setting boundaries for sexual access, including financial ones, and how this can make seeing certain clients very satisfying.
