“I’m a very kinky person.”
Before joining the adult industry, trans performer and content creator Variety Itsol (an acronym
for ‘Is the Spice of Life’) worked at an ice-skating rink by day while uploading graphic images
of herself on Reddit by night.
She was 20 and had not yet transitioned, but change was in the air.
“I had just turned 20 when I started working at this ice-skating rink,” Itsol recalled. “I had the
biggest crush on one of the ice-skating coaches. I was like, ‘Oh, I really want to learn how to
skate.’ And I did want to learn, but I also thought we’d be like, ‘Oh, hey, what’s up, baby?’ But
that never happened, and we just became good friends. I continued to work there while I was
making content. I wanted to keep skating for free.”
An exhibitionist at heart, hailing from a Southern Baptist home, the Little Rock, Arkansas
native had started exploring and pushing her boundaries on the popular online community
and content-sharing site Reddit. The experience, while thrilling, helped Itsol build the fortitude
necessary to perform in adult.
“Prior to doing porn, I posted free stuff on Femboy Reddit,” Itsol said, shaking her head.
“I’m not going to say what my old handle was because no one deserves to see what I looked
like pre-transition. I didn’t look great; I look much better now! But that’s why I was so open to
doing porn. I was already desensitized. It made me resilient.”
Itsol joined OnlyFans, Pornhub, and other subscription sites as a content creator in 2022,
officially introducing the online world to her empowered, kink-fueled alter ego, Variety Itsol.
Shoots with pioneering trans studio Grooby Productions soon followed and were everything
Itsol had hoped. But, in the back of her mind, she worried about the dismay her uploaded
content would cause her family if they came upon it, despite their years of estrangement.
“Uploading my content to Pornhub and OnlyFans—that scared me,” Itsol said. “I worried
about my family or friends seeing those videos because…well, they’re more likely be on Pornhub
than GroobyGirls.”
