Only way to fight back against LE targeting hobbyists is to decriminalize. Organizations supporting decriminalization below:
There is hope! Here are 4 organizations fighting for decriminalization, based on the idea that sexual freedom, including sex work, is a basic human right. All 4 agree that sex work is entirely distinct from human trafficking. 2 of these organizations were founded in the 21st century.
The first 3 are nonprofits, the 4th is a trade association.

Note the fourth bullet point in particular of Amnesty’s worldwide policy regarding sex work:
“Repeal existing laws and refrain from introducing new laws that criminalize or penalize directly or in practice the consensual exchange of sexual services between adults for remuneration;”
So although Amnesty’s focus is on a much broader range of issues than the hobby, their official position on the hobby plays a role in all of the causes they work on.

Free Speech Coalition
The trade association of the pornography industry. Their name derives from the fact that the court cases legalizing porn production in parts of the USA were based on the First Amendment (Freedom of Speech) to the Constitution. Without those court cases the porn business could not exist, at least not as big as it is, since most hardcore porn performers have to be paid to make the films.
