   I never liked the term “she-male” since it always reminds me of those titles of those creature feature flicks on Saturday night when I was a kid. That term gives off a negative view of transsexual performers. Female transgender performers are beautiful. Many of them are even more gorgeous than the mainstream female porn stars. I know if I saw them at a grocery market or at a mall, I would never assume that they had something hidden underneath their jeans or dress. I would just be glad that a hot woman was flirting with me.

   As for the BDSM category, “Treacherous” is going to be hard to beat since it’s also a well crafted and thought out feature movie. A lot of credit goes to Dee Severe and Aiden Starr for writing a productive and entertaining screenplay. I enjoyed seeing Dee look so sexy in her Mistress role. The scene that is nominated for Most Outrageous Sex Scene is memorable. Slut Bottom Chris’ ass really gets a work out from the group of seven women.

   The terms have been embraced by the industry, most fans, the internet, and even most performers. Granted, some of the marginal performers with two actual scenes under their belt like Chelsea (not including his two solo releases) might take offense but “she-male”, “tranny”, and other assorted terms are search engine optimizers as well as used by all the major production companies. If a fan wants to find porn starring males becoming more feminine, they will have infinite more success using those terms than “beautiful women” or something similar.

   And while George is my pal, this is one of those areas where he and I will never agree. I applaud his metro-sexuality and versatility but as a heterosexual male that loves pussy, when encountering a potential partner that lacks the requisite equipment, and sports a boner instead, I’m just not interested. Any potential for sexual stimulation goes out the door when both partners in a scene have cocks so I suppose the closest thing they could potentially offer is a partially modified male boning a completely genetic female.

   As far as the suggestion that they are “gorgeous” or “Many of them are even more gorgeous than the mainstream female porn stars.”, I think George is engaging in wishful thinking with his rose colored glasses a bit too thick for the reality. Even the best looking dudes taking injections, having surgeries, and applying tons of makeup are not going to pass the “better than a mainstream pornstar” test when it comes to taking off the pants only to find no pussy to poke. I live in a community that has a lot of trannies (Houston) and many are far, far more feminine than guys like Chelsea or most of the current crop that often perform a couple of scenes before disappearing yet in virtually all cases, they are immediately recognizable as such even clothed, especially when they try to flirt with me as their bulge grows. Perhaps they find me attractive enough to elicit that kind of response whereas George can’t get them to grow a boner, I have no idea…lol…but if trannies want to compete in the “best female performer” category instead of having their own, I’m all for it for reasons covered in earlier comments. Otherwise, if you don’t like a term, do as Producer Mike Kulich suggested and refuse to work for such companies, I’d still like to hear the alternatives they come up with because they haven’t brought any up yet.
