AVN Rapes Transsexuals of Dignity and Appreciation

[Willie Escalade]

If it had been 30 seconds later they would have missed us. We were walking out to the car as they were walking into the hotel. It was about as near perfect timing as you can get lol

True, true...perfect timing indeed!

And you letter will get a reblog from me as well.

I normally go to the convention, but I just didn't feel like it this year. Besides, there'll be other ones later on. I WAS going to snap some pics on the red carpet, but there was just too many folks doing the same thing. I wanted good pics...especially of my friends.

Ed is right. The vibe Saturday night WAS very chill. I was lucky to have dinner with Morgan, Foxxy, Astrid Shay, and Eva Lin; not one person in that restaurant did anything or said anything derogatory towards the ladies. And yes, many of the folks were indeed checking out the ladies (especially Natasha and Evon). I heard some VERY positive remarks; the only negative one was when potna tried to hit on Evon. She's a big girl; she ignored it and just walked away.

I found about Bailey winning via Twitter while Natasha was on my lap. Needless to say, none of us was very happy. I was even more disappointed after I heard about the red carpet incident.

I can't really boycott AVN because I don't really support them in he first place. I WILL however side with XBIZ more since they treat all of the stars equally.

Oh Yasmin Lee, you're too cool!!... indeed that's the right mentality to have sadly at this time, but things will change. You might not have won any awards but you got a role in a big hollywood pic, so take that AVN!!*shakes fist*

Yeah 3 guys came up to me and one guy grabbed my privates under my dress and I hit him with my shoes, then he started going on and on about bs...

it's silly to take it to seriously. Whenever I get nominated for anything and not just AVN. I just smile and think "oh wow, that's nice that they thought of me." Usually this feeling of being appreciated last about 10 sec before I move on with my life. I never won anything ever but believe the ones that care enough to put in the time, effort and money either themselves or via 3rd party deserves it. If you want it, get your asses out there and fight for it. Or you can save money and buy amazing wardrope, house and business like I did.

Yasmin, I have nothing but respect for you but I disagree.

I think recognition is pretty important to a lot of people. Like yourself, I fall more into the category of, 'It would be nice but I don't really care that much...', because, let's be honest here, past my prime today, I'll never go to the AVN's and will most likely never be nominated for one. I was thrilled to have lost my category at the TA's to Tara and Delia for the past few years.

BUT, I totally get where girls like Brittany are coming from and why this AVN kerfuffle is being made into such a big deal. Times have changed so much. Gone are the days when blessed and beautiful girls (like yourself) could attract huge and loyal Fan bases with (relatively) minimal effort. Today's girls must compete for attention against a whole world of relatively new and different things, including piracy, the Internet, cam-shows, and more and more girls coming out of the woodwork to become stars. Gone are the days when there were only a handful of true TS Pornstars. Gone are the days where the genre was small and new. Think back 10 years ago and you could maybe name 10 TS 'Pornstars' if you thought really, really hard. Today, I could easily rattle off 20-30 girls who would consider themselves 'pornstars'. In this short-life-span of an industry, minute-by-minute recognition is crucial and fifteen minutes of fame on a stage as large as the AVN's may just be enough to launch a career.

As the novelty of TS porn wears off, it is only going to become that much harder for true 'Pornstars' to emerge from the pack, which is why I am left scratching my head at times as to this rush for the TS niche to become 'mainstream'. I don't think it is at all silly for girls to want to be treated equally to their mainstream peers, and if the AVN's were to straighten this out and actually put some effort into their TS categories, I think a LOT of persons would be taking them more seriously.

Anyway... it pains me to disagree with you but just how I feel. Today it is much, much harder for girls to make a living in porn and save up the scratch to do the wardrobe, house, and business thing so every opportunity for recognition and achievement should be fought for and protected tooth and nail, which is why I was so quick to jump behind Brittany's lead even though I don't agree 100% with the message as written... the whole of it is something we should all get behind and support.

I totally see where you are coming from. My feeling is that Yes we should be recognized and rewarded as such when we earned them. However, do we really care for AVN and their recognition knowing that year after year after year ever since they started, that they don't care about us and when the day comes when the do, would they be qualify? based on the fact that their panel knows almost nothing about our porn. I say it's a great start that we try to create our own acknowledgment via tranny awards. We can only hope that it gets big enough where it reach the audience who will care enough to put their penis down and take a sec to vote.

The novelty? You mean the taboo, don't you? And as it wears off and we gain more acceptance in both porn and the mainstream, we will be less 'verboten,' leading to growth in the fan base.

Yeah, that makes no sense at all.

In fact, you know something? This calls for an 'Am I Gay' thread.
