Hey girls, I think the important point to be recognized is that it’s a topic of discussion. Transexuals as a couple of years ago was a non factor in the industry ” a niche Market”. The more aware of the TS and how they need there own voice in the community a greater spotlight will shine on them. I believe the TS market is the hottest thing going and growing exponentially. The gay and Lesbian community has made great strides because of there collective and consistent voice in promoting their needs over a long period of time. Some times inequities need to be addressed and these discussions are uncomfortable but , they do bring change and a second look at an important issue. We are all beautiful and intelligent people, given time we will get there and transsexuals will flourish like never before. lol to you both. Alexis Lane

No GAYVN are run by NakedSword yet still owned by AVN,,,,,,,GAYVN are held later in the year in San Francisco not during the same time as our award.

Anyhow back to the TrannyAwards!

Just watch and mark my words, a fan favorite will win and everyone will scream OMG what an honor, HOW WONDERFUL, GO AVN………..

Well considering before 2004 we had NO awards at all then I guess its baby steps, I never said it was represented correctly.

Krissy Gay dvd’s have their own awards which is NOT held during the Avn Show in January! So Im not familier with the gay awards!

I wasn’t referring to you at all…

Correct me if I’m wrong but, let’s see… out of 100+ categories for the AVN Awards… there are what… 2 that are Transsexual related? There are more Bi-sexual and Gay categories than that even… is that fair representation? I don’t think so.

With due respect Krissy the AVN Awards though having their problems are atleast some form of recognition within our community and I promise you I didnt win because of me being vocal. I won the award as the first TS to do a dvd with an all African American Cast gangbang sponsored by Grooby……..Though AVN does have ALOT of room for growth I dont see the necessity to bring one award down to promote the other!

Ill promote both awards with dignity and a bit of hope that all continue to grow to promote our genre.
