what kind of support? like blow jobs and stuff?

Ha probably.

I'd assume they want more advertising dollar. Which is crap. Their are plenty of companies like Evil Angel, Third World, Gammae etc. which advertise in AVN, I'd assume Devil's does also. We used to advertise there a lot, especially in their AVN Online magazine. So I hope there wasn't any "we'd do more TS promotion if there were more TS companies spending money with us" ? When Tim Connelly was editor, we used to get a lot more tgirl articles and presence in the magazine. I'd have to see the potential for a much great ROI before I could take advertising or shows with them again.

I think it's great Brittany has been able to get this through. I particularly liked the "long-time TS rights activist" ... just think what she might be able to change in months or years and not weeks, Unlike others, I'm going to be less generous and state that this was all on Brittany - everyone else, myself include just got on for the ride by re-mailing/blogging/etc. her post to others and engaging people on it. So well done to her.

As an obviously biased observer of this, I think the fact that Brittany St. Jordan got the AVN folks to meet with her and Amy and Wendy is going to be a positive thing moving forward. It may not amount to much in the way of money on either side, but at least AVN is not taking TS for granted any longer. Respect goes a long way in business.

Kudos to Brittany, Amy, and Wendy for working on this.

As soon as Brittany posted her initial letter, I joined the many who raised voice in support, including my blog (www.ladyboyweb.com), forum posts, and emailing Mark at AVN. While I was only one voice amongst a great many in the chorus, I was pleased when Mark emailed me about the meeting with Brittany, Amy and Wendy and the press release, which I posted on my blog with a link back to AVN.

As Seanchai says, Brittany was the one who got the ball rolling, the single most significant contribution I think to TS recognition by the AVN Awards since Joanna Jet got the category recognized in the first place. Brittany, my hat's off to you. Now let's all work together to keep moving forward, not only in the adult industry but in society at large.
