Cade was spotlighted heavily in Lowbridge’s article, and stated that, through the course of her on-camera sex work, she had been asked to film a scene with another actress, but pulled out when she discovered she was transgender. Cade also claimed that, at a workshop she once attended called “”Overcoming the Cotton Ceiling: Breaking Down Sexual Barriers for Queer Trans Women," throughout the course, she saw trans women were essentially being coached into…
