Ohio trans lawmaker candidate tried to hide prior name and active sex work life

Vanessa Joy, who was running for the Ohio House of Representatives as a Democrat, is claiming to be a victim of transphobia after being disqualified from the ballot for hiding a name change

Biased media and trans activists claim transphobic legislation is behind a trans activist candidate in Ohio being disqualified from the ballot. However, Vanessa Joy, who was running for the Ohio House of Representatives for District number 50 as a Democrat, violated state law when Joy failed to disclose a name change. The law, which has an exemption for those whose name changes through marriage, allows the public to vet candidates who may have been known under other identities.

Joy, 42, has never publicly disclosed who they were prior to recently adopting the name, “Vanessa Joy.” Joy has even petitioned a judge to seal the name change record, which was denied. I can exclusively report that Joy was previously known as Jeremy Michael Adams. Under that name, Joy filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy—something that was not told to potential voters.

In addition, Joy did not disclose to the public that they’re a sex worker. As recently as November 2023, Joy posted pornographic video of Joy masturbating to images of women. Joy uses the online monikers “vanesstradiol” and “sarcux” to promote their OnlyFans account, which advertises “pay-per-view” pornographic videos and photos.
