Re: when do transexual porn stars retire ?
Not that I have longevity yet, but I'm hitting the three year mark and my sales keep climbing, so I'm guessing I'm doing something right. Looking around at the folks who've lasted longer than me, here's what seems to be the keys to longevity:
1) Producing your own work - As Prospero indicated, having the ability to produce content and distribute it without being beholden to the whims (or budgets) of producers. On the whole producers tend to focus on "new" and eventually even the most popular performers fall out of favor with them.
2) Engaging your fanbase - Echoing Steven & Liberty, loyal fans buy Chicago style - early and often. The more engaged they are and the more respect you treat them with, the better they are to you.
3) Other ways of "new" - everyone discussing "new" in porn tends to focus on the idea of a new model, but I'd argue that having diverse content in terms of look and theme is equally important. The more the work of a performer evolves and diversifies the easier it is to continue to engage fans.
4) Uniqueness - Every performer who has had longevity has a personality which sets them apart from other models of their generation. Being a pretty face isn't enough... each year 10 - 15 new "pretty faces" show up. You have to be different to stand out.
I'm sure there are other elements that I've missed, but these are things I've noticed.

Just as interesting is - what do they do once they've retired? Other than meet some very rich sugar daddy.

Re: when do transexual porn stars retire ?
Some girls just want to get in, make that money, and get out...without any regrets. Even if they become quite popular (Jane Marie comes to mind) I'll respect their choices. Then again, other girls are in it for the long run.
Reading this thread reminded me of all of the girls I've seen come and go.

Wendy you are missing #5
you have to enjoy getting fucked and fucking on camera and the life that goes along with having a career fucking & getting fucked on camera.
many girls tire of the lifestyle and the physical act of doing the job of a porn star.
