GoAskAlex Inspires Authentic Representation of People with Disabilities in New York Post Article
GoAskAlex, an influential model, top content creator and advocate for people with disabilities, opens up to New York Post journalist Jane Ridley about her trials and triumphs as “the first adult performer with an ostomy in the world.”
In “Top OnlyFans Model: ‘My Disability Makes Me Sexier Than Ever’”, the British Columbia, Canada-based entertainer explains her hesitancy at the thought of having her large bowel removed in July 2019 after years of living with ulcerative colitis for most of her life. “I wasn’t sure whether there was going to be a market for my body anymore,” she explains.
“Her OnlyFans account is going gangbusters – the redhead is among the top one percent of earners on the on-line sharing platform – and she has inspired sex workers with other disabilities,” writes Ridley of GoAskAlex.
“The model believes the ostomy makes her ‘more relatable’ and ‘challenges the idea of what’s considered conventionally attractive,’” adding that Alex believes that “it helps “normalize disabled qualities in pornography.
“She is proudest of her advocacy on behalf of people like herself. Her campaign for more diversity includes the creation of the Disabled Sex Workers Calendar displaying glamorous pictures of herself and other models.
“People who are unconventional [looking] are rarely represented in a way that isn’t fetishized or tokenized by the sex industry… we’re working towards different body shapes, races and disabilities being the norm.”
