They feel the article on AVN that was posted was "bullying"
Ok - so against was strong language - got it... lol
They also feel that even if they separated the category to ts/transsexual genres
That the "pronoun committee" Don's words...would be mad about that too. Since they are not labeled female.
Don also said "He is old school if you have and use your penis, your male"
But he does feel there should be a category for ts just like there is for gay genres...
So they have the option not to look at trans porn/stars when searching females..
But like he said he believes girls wouldn't be happy with that and still scream discrimination..
He also said "If Steven spent more time advertising and getting involved with getting his dvds etc reviewed it may bring more of a transsexual audience, which would push the views for our type of porn"
I plead complete ignorance on this issue, even after reading the entire thread I am left with this understanding, that the transgender performer's community as a whole want to be 'tagged' as female in descriptions pertaining to awards consideration by various committees? Am I way off base on this? WOOF-WOOF!! Throw me a bone please ladies (no pun intended).
Sorry, most of this is transpiring off website.
There are a few different issues:
1) IAFD (separate from xcritic) runs a DB where TS performers are listed as male. There have been several requests made to either change this or remove TSs from the Db entirely for at least a year.
2) XCritic's Fan Voting Awards announced last week did not include any TS performers or content. There have been varying explanations as to why. A number of us raised concerns over that last week
3) AVN published an article which called out IAFD for their stance.
4) XCritic Tweeted their support of IAFD and called the political pressure "bullying".
Hilarity ensued.
XCritic @xcritic @GroobySteven A vocal few aggressively attack on behalf of a silent majority. Calling someone with a penis "he" is not degrading or bigoted.
There you girls. Straight from the donkey's mouth.
