Pornography with a trans person in it. There’s nothing wrong with it, but if you enjoy watching it while publicly attacking trans people and advocating anti-trans legislation, it’s a bad look.
'Luci’s back??? Where you been, dude?
Someone on FB suggested hearing “Black Nazi” ala “Rock Lobster” and I can’t hear it any other way now. So, you’re welcome.
Depicting people with both a penis and breasts. Of course, as with any porn, it’s impossible to know what the actual self-identifications of any of the folks involved are. Presumably, one or the other is a surgical modification, or either or both might be the result of photo manipulation.
This is both cruder and less accurate than “Porn with a trans person in it,” which had been provided almost fourteen hours before you posted.
Maybe someone told him that he needed a muffler and he tried to grab one off of a running car…
It wasn’t a rock! It was a Black Nazi!
It’s an accurate description of what usually gets labeled as “trans porn”.
It’s still less accurate, and a lot grosser, than “Porn with a trans person in it,” which again, was posted half a day before you chimed in.
“Porn with a trans person in it” is an entirely inaccurate description of porn that is labeled as “trans porn”.
“No, it’s not sex on a starship with trans-warp drive…!”
Entirely inaccurate? You’re going to have to unpack that for me. But in fairness, I’ll unpack my post first:
So, yeah, the stuff labeled “trans porn” does mostly feature actresses who are trans-femme, or at least trans-femme presenting. But it’s certainly not the whole of it. Just google Buck Angel, but you probably want to turn safe search on if you’re in public.
But this isn’t about accurate porn categorization.
A persistent problem in trans rights discourse (even among allies) is the erasure of trans-masc and non-binary identities to focus specifically on trans-femme people. This is compounded by defining the “trans” part of “trans-porn” as “having both penis and breasts,” which is hugely problematic on its face. Certainly, the porn industry regularly indulges in that sort of base reductiveness, but we don’t need to participate in it to describe it.
Porn labeled as “trans porn” is certainly an inaccurate depiction of the vast majority of actual trans people. Porn labeled as “lesbian porn” is an inaccurate depiction of most actual lesbian women. Heck, “straight porn” is an inaccurate depiction of most straight people, too. Porn, in general, is inaccurate.
Defining “trans porn” as “porn with trans people in it” makes it sound much more accurate than it actually is. I haven’t seen the contents of Robinson’s hard drive, and don’t want to, but I doubt he has very many pictures of people who haven’t had surgery and who just go about their life doing the best they can at presenting in their preferred way via clothing and makeup, nor does he have many pictures of people who have successfully gone through top and bottom surgery and hormone treatment, such that their body now closely matches their self-identity.
Again, accurate porn categorization really isn’t the issue, nor is the exact type of dirty picture Mark Robinson has on his laptop. Yeah, the porn industry is really gross in general, and particularly gross around trans women. That doesn’t mean we have to be gross when we talk about it.
You seem to be saying that the people you describe are the real trans people, and anyone who has had some surgery or medical treatment but not finished the transition to the other sex, i.e. who seem to be the people who appear in trans porn, are not real trans people? I don’t know about state of the “vast majority” of trans people (and I doubt whether you do either), but I suspect there are a number who have started the process and haven’t finished it yet for any number of reasons.
No, I’m saying that those people are examples of real trans people, but who have almost no representation in “trans porn”. There are also real trans people who look like the folks in porn, but they’re not the entire community.
That’s a subtype called “chicks with dicks.”
Trans porn is most likely a much broader spectrum.
Your message seems to me to have changed considerably in the past four hours.
I live in WNC in the middle of Helene’s mess. I just got a spam text from Robinson’s campaign offering us his hopes and prayers. Since we’re in the Pit, I would like to invite him to take his good wishes, fold them into the shape that contains the highest number of sharp edges and shove them straight up his MAGA ass. We need our power restored, not political posing!
I wish you all the best. I have a relative-of-a-relative who lives in Transylvania County, NC, and who hasn’t been heard from.
The best info I can glean points to cell tower outages, because their impact seems far more to property than – so far – to life.
But it’s brutal to see the trail that Helene left.
The best to you and yours.
