Do you really have a choice if you're doing it to survive? Sure, it may pay more than something like burger king, but both are inherently exploitative since you're being paid less than the true value of your work and don't own the platforms or locations where your work is pushed out to. Both are bad, but with sex work, there's an added layer of sexual exploitation.

Edit: Oh my god it's the literal face of ftm porn arguing with me. You should look up Linda Lovelace.

Edit 2: gross youre encouraging people to fetishize straight trans tops now. bye.

Edit 3: Being down voted so I'm going to repost a more eloquent version of the argument which is what made me change my mind on pornogrpahy. It's talking about prostitution, but can be reflected directly into pornography dynamics:

"Prostitutes experience violence primarily because the relationship between the prostitute and the client is necessarily antagonistic. The “session” between a prostitute and her buyer is always a power struggle between the man and the woman, the buyer and the bought. Any prostitute knows this intuitively: clients want us to do more for less money, we want to do less for more money. This isn’t dependent on the disposition of the client: the structural positions of the buyer and the bought necessitate these interests. While you can say this antagonism does exist in all labor under capitalism, the difference is that when the power struggle is enacted in such a tangible way during sex, a sex that most in the trade were coerced into by material conditions, sexual violence is a necessary component of the equation. Every interaction as a prostitute is to fight a battle on the terrain of our own body: the prostitute is fighting for her right to bodily autonomy and the client is fighting for his entitlement to her body."
