I maintain a separate part-time artistic practice as an online sex-worker as a coping mechanism and step towards my healing from gender-based violence. This art is published under a different name and maintains a clear separation from my work as Lyra McMahon, though the work explores themes relevant to public health. I share this to make clear it is not a secret, to reduce career and safety risks via transparency, and to challenge stigmatization of sex work in society. I have written elsewhere about my online sex work practice. My work explores themes of social isolation, gender, sexuality, and health. Half of my net earnings from this work are redistributed to health-related mutual aid and health advocacy efforts for the decriminalization of sex work and improved labor conditions for sex workers. Since sexuality and sex work are themes that I commonly explore in my art and also occasionally in my scholarship, I felt it was relevant to be open about my practice here.
