Liara Roux is an American author, sex worker, pornography director, internet personality and sex worker human rights activist.[1][2]

Career

Roux is a high-end escort[3] and supports the "decriminalization and protection of consensual adult activity including queer and sex worker rights and safety worldwide".[4] In her view, sex workers can be described as a marginalized group, who were endangered by SESTA and received no benefits from it.[4] She was prominently against Tumblr's decision to ban porn from their platform.[5]

She has written for Vice Media and HuffPost. Her first book, Whore of New York: A Confession, was published in October 2021.

Personal life

Roux is both queer and genderqueer and uses xhe/xer/xe/xim/xey/xem pronouns.[6] She was diagnosed with autism early in life.[7]
