Feminists often argue that pornography degrades women and promotes violence against them.
So what would the argument be against Shemale Pornography? Would the opposition still hold because of the feminine depictions in such films?
Or would it simply be dismissed as deviant and thus not apply? Exactly how would Transsexual Porn influence this debate?

File this under: "Things that make you go Hmmm"...

Get on yer... :soapbox

I think that the feminist community is no longer solidly anti-porn. The last 20 years have seen an explosion in "feminist porn" and support for sex-workers by many leaders of the feminist movement.

The Andrea Dworkins of the world hold a lot less sway these days than they used too.

There's a lot of degrading and violent TS porn, websites and films built on it in fact, but I haven't seen any major protests yet. As far as mainstream, Candida Royalle lightened things up and took some of the stigma from porn: http://www.candidaroyalle.com/ Personally, one of my favorites in the industry is Kink.com based in San Francisco at the old Armory. One of their sites is TS Seduction and you may have heard of Wired Pussy, Hogtied, etc. I love the way they handle taboo subjects and hold nothing back without worrying about fringe group reactions.

You hit the nail on the head. Ironically, most of the people I know personally who buy it are biological women and they're lifestyle submissives.

That's probably because most of those being degraded are bottom men who enjoy it, same goes for those buying the material.

Well I guess you're not going to like people having sex if no one wants to have it with you:

Maybe that's because Andrea Dworkin died. Not that I think it would have made any real difference.
