Critically, the adult industry rarely employs observant Muslim women who wear the hijab in their daily lives. More often, the hijab is a costume worn by actresses who do not practice the faith, further trivializing a sacred practice. This transforms the hijab into a "kink accessory," akin to a nurse’s uniform or a schoolgirl’s outfit.

Individual choice cannot erase the collective harm of reinforcing stereotypes that contribute to social prejudice. While role-play is a staple of pornography, the
