Career
Roux is a high-end escort and supports the "decriminalization and protection of consensual adult activity including queer and sex worker rights and safety worldwide". In their view, sex workers can be described as a marginalized group, who were endangered by SESTA and received no benefits from it. Roux was prominently against Tumblr's decision to ban porn from their platform.

They have written for Vice Media and HuffPost. Their first book, Whore of New York: A Confession, was published in October 2021.

Personal life
Roux is both queer and genderqueer. Roux has stated that they use "she/her pronouns in advertising as Liara Roux, but I use he/him/they/them in my personal life". They were diagnosed with autism early in life.
