A transgender escort has told how she has thousands of Irish male fans following her for raunchy videos and pictures.
Originally from Bali, Elak Baby moved to Ireland two-and-a-half years ago and now claims men can’t get enough of her "exotic" beauty.
Elak was working as an escort but when the pandemic hit and she lost a third of her earnings, she started getting regular online business from Escort Fans earning up to €3,000 a month.
The 25-year-old told the Irish Mirror: “I joined the platform Escort Fans and it helped me a lot, I make sexy videos for them."
A seasoned porn star, she revealed: “I’m an ex-LA porn star so I already have a lot of followers on my social media.
“I get a lot of subscribers for my popularity, I’m getting more and more now.
“A lot of Irish guys find me exotic, my Irish followers are growing.”
Born as a man, Elak says she’s in the middle of her transitioning journey.
She said: “I started transitioning when I was 17 years old and I took hormones for a year and breast augmentation and surgery to make myself look more beautiful."
Opening up on sex work, she said: “I only ever did escorting on and off, every woman in the sex industry just does it for short periods.
“For example, in my trans community a lot of transwomen are getting into prostitution due to the cost of medical transitioning, surgeries aren’t covered by public health hospitals.
“The second reason is the mental health issues when transitioning.
“Our minds are on transitioning rather than education at that crucial point, so it makes access to well-paid jobs more difficult and we end up doing menial jobs.”
Defending her profession, she added: “I’m a hustler, do you know what that means? I am using men to pay my bills and to get things that I want.
“I’m a straight transgender woman only attracted to men, the Irish men who are attracted to me know who they come for.
“I love being in Ireland. My fans pay a monthly subscription, Irish fans love me because they want to meet me, I can talk to them but I can’t meet all of them.
“I have thousands of Irish fans and they find me exotic.”
For those who judge her profession, Elak added: “I have a message for everyone who doesn’t understand what I do: never judge anybody.
“We all have our own way of surviving in this world to keep our lifestyle.
“Everyone has their own reason for living the way they do.
“A message for all the trans kids, the goal is to be really who you are, be patient, all you need to have is love for you and you will literally prosper, bloom and thrive.”
