Firstly, I do not see anything inherently demeaning about stripping for a living. I have met socially with strippers, prostitutes, and professional mistresses and most did not appear demeaned to me or themselves. Those forced against their will are different, of course.
However, especially nowadays, there are many other ways in which we can be said to strip for an audience.
As a sexually active crossdresser myself, i have spent a lot of time working on layers of outfits to allure men in clubs, in hotel rooms and the advertising I do with emails and photos. Exciting a man in chat is most definitely a form of stripping or maybe lapdancing.
If you look on, say, Flickr you will see many galleries of crossdressers of all ages and in all stages of undress posted to excite the admiration of both their crossdressing friends and their admirers. While some do this commercially for an income through Onlyfans etc. many just do it because they want to. I know several who have very good jobs and substantial incomes.
