genuine answer: No, like, emphatically, resoundingly, I cannot stress this enough, no
The language surrounding trans women in porn has always been tied to the "taboo" of our sexuality. Tranny, shemale, futanari, trap, sissy, cd, and femboy all exist as labels which other people have put on us as sly (not sly) ways of degendering us, third sexing us, in order to keep the taboo alive. This is very similar to the way in which racialized women are also exoticized in porn (as with relative age, religion, appearance, etc. It's a pattern).
When trans women, especially when racialized, enter into (online) sex work, we are forced to use the language which will make us seen, and makes us more popular. Trans women's agency is removed from the construction of our own descriptive vocabulary as a prerequisite to succeeding in the industry.
Using these required labels to make a living is not some fluid identity which allows trans women mobility. It is an effect of the marginalization of trans women, and a culture which consumes us, but does not believe we are deserving of more than being consumed.
