SX Noir is a sex-tech artist, activist, and self-proclaimed “thot leader,” working at the intersection of sex work, digital culture, and technology. She produces multimedia work, hosts the “Thot Leader Pod,” curates events, panels, and virtual + IRL communities that explore consent, intimacy, privacy, and the destigmatization of sexuality in digital spaces. SX Noir also advocates for sex worker rights, challenging discriminatory laws and policies (e.g. around censorship, shadow-banning, payment/advertising restrictions) that disproportionately harm marginalized creators.
