I guess it comes down to the fact that ethical porn is an increasingly spoken-about concept in the mainstream, and it's often conflated with art porn. It's a shame that people in the art porn world don't look at the potential for growth on an ethical level.

And no, I honestly think that, when it comes to talking about ethics, we should be deferring to the general consensus of community leaders rather than those who are opting into working for companies under the "shemale/tranny" moniker, as there are many reasons for doing so... Not all of which are very empowering.

Its always funny to see a few speak for the masses and not have it right.

Sophie, you definitely seem like you are an academic. I went to Williams College for undergrad, where did you go?

I studied opera performance at McGill, of all things. The academia came with the job, honestly.

No offense to Sophie, but I thought the same thing. Trannys, I mean transgender people..., aren't the majority buying tranny porn. It's straight guys who have that "I thought everyone had a penis" fetish as a kid or something very similar.
You know how many tranny sites there are using the term "tranny"? Just about every one of them... :2 cents:

I'm not being mean, just saying that it's a term widely used an not meant to be insulting.

Sure, it's widely used in this business, but that isn't a good thing. I just find it irresponsible that a supposedly classy company with a Feminist Porn Award would bow to this.

Sophie I'm pretty sure that you are a smart person. Don't you think there's a good chance this company didn't even realize tranny was a controversial word?
