Transgender pornography
Transgender pornography is a genre of pornography featuring transsexual or transgender actors. The majority of the genre features trans women, but trans men are sometimes featured. Trans women are most often featured with male partners, but they are also featured with other women, both transgender and cisgender.[page needed][page needed]
In the 2010s, it was common in transgender pornography to use terms that are generally regarded as pejorative slurs in the trans community, such as "chicks with dicks", "trannies", or "shemales". Transgender pornographic actress Wendy Williams said she disagreed with activists who thought these sorts of terms are slurs, as these words were originally "used so the laymen person could understand the products they were buying in porn". In 2017, a major trans porn site changed their name from ShemaleYum to GroobyGirls and announced they would no longer use terms that are seen as stigmatizing.
Trans women in pornography are sometimes called "tgirls", the t standing for transgender or transsexual.
AVN Award for Transgender Performer of the Year is one of the major industry awards for actors in the genre. Transgender Erotica Awards (formerly Tranny Awards) is the other major award. The Feminist Porn Awards has also awarded trans and genderqueer performers for expanding the boundaries of the genre, with early awards going to Jiz Lee and Drew Deveaux.
Trans people have long been represented in North American erotic media, often in pieces created by cisgender people that cater to cisgender fantasies. Relatedly, cross-dressing fantasies originating in the BDSM community have been a topic since at least the 1950s in North American print erotica. Caroline "Tula" Cossey became Playboy's first openly trans model after being outed during her career.:275-276
As commercial pornographic videos grew popular during the 1980s, trans porn likewise grew as a genre. This became one of the few media types to regularly employ trans performers and represent trans women, although often this was restricted to white women with large breasts who had not undergone genital gender-affirming surgery. Works portrayed trans women as both the subject and object of desire.:277 Representations of "trans sexualities" were often labeled under the terms "she-male" or "travestie" (relatedly, "she-male" has also been used as a derogatory and fetishizing term to describe trans people).
Porn produced by and for trans people has been an growing genre since the 1990s.:277 The decreasing cost of filmmaking equipment and formation of politically-minded trans communities helped create a broader growth in trans filmmaking during the same period. Early directors of trans porn included Mirha-Soleil Ross, Stephanie Anne Lloyd, Les Nichols, and Chance Ryder, who produced films that expanded their intended gaze from only cisgender to also transgender. Other early directors include Christopher Lee, Hans Scheirl, Buck Angel, Morty Diamond, Cary Cronenwett, Tobaron Waxman, T-wood team, and Tobi Hill-Meyer.:277
Trans pornography has been shaped by institutional pressures, especially the gatekeeping requirements that various medical establishments placed on trans people.:277 For instance, the DSM-5 criteria for receiving a gender dysphoric diagnosis required expressions of disgust and a need to change one's genitals. If trans people wanted to obtain medical support in these systems, they needed to avow very restrictive sexual feelings to their doctors.:277 This influence helped homogenize popular expressions of trans desire and masked many diverse, stigmatized forms of it.
