Is it just me or do many in the porn industry not seem to know the difference between transvestites, transexuals, and women?
So, in the simplest terms possible, let's refresh the memories of those who may have forgotten:
(1) A transvestite is NOT a woman. It's like saying that an eclair is a donut. It's not and it never will be.
(2) A transexual is NOT the same as a transvestite. In this case, the eclair has been surgically altered so that it resembles a donut. But, if it in any way still resembles an eclair, then guess what it is? You got it - an eclair.
Why do I say that some folks seem to have forgotten the difference between transvestites, transexuals, and women? Let me give you an example. I rent movies from XRent. When you visit their site, you are immediately directed towards either "straight porn" or "gay porn." In simpler terms, you are directed to choose either eclairs or donuts. I always choose donuts, because that's just what I prefer. There is, of course, nothing wrong with those guys inclined towards eclairs. I just don't happen to be one of them.
Anyway, guess what you find when you go to the "straight porn" section of XRent? - That's right, tons and tons of porn featuring transvestites. To make matters worse, the titles refer to transexuals, when even a cursory review of the covers indicates that the performers still have essential male parts. So, what do you end up with? - Eclairs when you were looking for donuts. And, not just that, but eclairs masquerading as donuts.
This isn't rocket science folks. If the folks who make, label, market and distribute porn can't figure this one out, can they please get their butts into a bakery to see just how easy it all is?

They sell eclairs in the donut shops here. And they are considered to be a type of dount. Your analogy is flawed.
Why not just say that you don't like men who look like women in your porn? But donuts and eclairs?
If a rental service does stuff that you don't appreciate maybe you should bitch at them not at us.

For a man with a gerbil as an avatar, you seem VERY uptight.

It's a hamster actually. Once someone decides to judge me based an an avatar they can't even be troubled to identify I question their intellect.
and I just don't like reading pointless posts. What kind of discussion did you hope to generate by voicing your dislike for not completely straight porn? Is it treading any new ground as far as this board? -- Do a search, you can find plenty of people who don't want to see trannie porn with "straight" porn, 'nuff said.

What is that, like a step up from a gerbil?

You seem to have missed my point. I also think you're a common internet troll. I am done responding to your posts.

I think he became upset when I mistook his hamster for a gerbil. How was I to know? I'm not into either.
If you want a serious answer to your post then here it is:
Transvestites are men who dress up as, and act like women. Getting breast implants goes way beyond dress up, wouldn't you agree?
Transexuals are people who undergo a sex change or whose sexual identity is entirely of the opposite sex. I would have to say that definition comes a lot closer to the people you're complaining about than transvestite does.
PS - The Trannie films are in the Straight section because that's the audience that buys those films. You won't find many gay men interested in men who are trying to look like women.

Does this actually make sense? If the film involves scenes of men having sex with people with penises (whether you want to define them as guys or transvestites or partial transexuals with boob jobs), then how does that constitute "straight porn?" My point is that "straight porn" directed at men which does not in any way involve a woman is not "straight porn."
While you might get some agreement out of me that I don't consider it to be 100% straight porn, it's not exactly gay porn either. Find a group of gay men and ask them what they think of having sex with a man who looks like a woman.
Gay men are attracted to men who look like men. The transvestite and transsexual community is kind of an orphan that doesn't really fit in either the gay or straight camp because it can't really be classified as 100% gay or straight. A LOT of straight men will watch the occasional tranny flick. There seem to be quite a few openly gay men in my area so I know a few. I don't know a single gay man who is attracted to trannies.
The whole point of the thread is that it's difficult to "steer clear of it" when these titles are intermingled with "straight porn." Even a cursory review will tell you that many times these movies aren't even labeled as transsexual titles, such as the following movies listed among "straignt porn" at XRent:
Up Close Virtual Gia Darling Gialicious Hard TV Rogue Adventures Up Close Virtual Vicki Richter Planet Giselle Secrets of Sao Paulo Up Close Virtual Danielle Foxxx Loaded Gun 24 Hours of Intensive Care Iron In The Hole
It's a little disingenuous to say this stuff is "straight porn" when the back covers clearly show transsexual penetration of another male performer. The question is a simple one...Why isn't this stuff listed among "gay porn?"
RandomPrecision pretty much laid it out for you, in an above post, both loud and clear.
I'm a vegan and it pisses me off that most stuff isn't labeled "non-vegan" or "vegan". It makes it a bitch for me when I'm looking to buy food/stuff, but that's just something I deal with. Life sucks sometimes and you gotta sift through shit to get to the good stuff. Just learn to take it in stride and not let it get sand in your vagina.
Familiarize yourself with the titles that you think are TS related and skip over those. So what if you click on a boxcover that's got a girl with a huge dick on the back of it? It doesn't mean you're gay or curious or whatever. Just keep on looking for whatever it is you're looking for. I don't like BBW or granny vids, but those pop up on sites from time to time. You learn to deal.
As far as X-Rent goes, it's easy enough to de-select the transsexual category, so it isn't like they're forcing you to look at every box cover.
As for why it isn't in the gay section, you've already asked and been answered. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't put an onus on the store to change it. They aren't going to put product where it doesn't sell, after all.

That's all I'm saying - that it's really, really annoying to have to pick through titles that aren't really "straight porn." Maybe, the rental companies can set up a third area titled something like "bisexual" or "bicurious" that more accurately reflects the interests of the folks who are renting these titles.
Heya!!!I hope you enjoy this flick... it was my first tranny, and I was her first girl... awww, how romantic!! It was shot around 18 months ago, and it is a pretty aggressive scene, which I fully enjoyed... thing is, no one told me the beautiful 'girl' was actualy a tranny... I wondered why her name was Bruno on her STD certs... lol... funny, Rocco's little tricks, he thought it was hilarious to just chuck me in at the deep end...
Since then, I made several TS movies in europe, but I'm not sure if they'll be released in USA/UK. XX

Isabel, are you the 'Isabel' in Italian She-Male 25? The picture on the cover looks like you but I wasn't certain if it was.
Hey Isabel!! I got the dvd in the mail earlier this afternoon (Saturday) and I'm gonna plan to watch/review it within the next few days. I just re-watched the trailer on the EA site and you were just plain smoking in the scenes that you're a part of. Amazing. Do you know any of the titles of the european TS movies that you've done? I'd be really interested in checking those out. How do you like doing TS movies? You really seem like you enjoy yourself, just as you do in pretty much all of your scenes.
You just added me on your myspace, too. Thanks. Do you have any plans on getting back on your Xpeeps page? It says you haven't been on in a few months. Well I hope everything is great where you're at and thanks a ton for responding to my post.
This is probably the only point I agree with you on. Penetration of a male is my main problem with TS movies. That could, arguably, be labeled gay or bi. I would fast forward past such a scene at least. But TS stuff with "girls" who look like real girls and does not involve penetration of a male, I'm all for, as a person who consider myself straight.
the trailer alone for Trans Obsessions is awesome. You might wanna also check her out in The Couch. She does a very good mmf threesome that is shot pretty much perfectly. She also does a double anal in it if you dig that. Her scene is the first in the movie and steals the whole show. Definitely a keeper. I'm a hardcore fan of hers now.
I think you'd be doing a whole lot of fast forwarding, don't you? Also, how can a "girl" who has a penis look like a real girl? This I don't understand.
the same way that a butch girl with a bird and a pussy looks like a man... with your logic - watching buck adams (a reverse tranny - girl who looks like a guy) with a guy is straight- isn't it?
I haven't seen enough of this movies to know how much fast forwarding would be necessary. But I know that I am picky, I lose all interest if she doesn't look like a girl (except for the obvious, the penis). A masculine ts won't do it. She would have to be able to pass for a girl, and a good looking one too.

Well my friend, at some point the clothes would come off and surprise! - there'd be a schlong! At that point, are you still "interested?"
I saw the thread title and I had visions of donuts around transsexual cocks and transsexuals cumming in eclairs. Quite the delicacy. (No, I am not well...but I do hope I am never cured!)
Hi there... hope you enjoyed the movie, and it didn't disapoint you... and no probs for the myspace add... feel free to drop me a line...
Other movies I have been in is the one in the link in the above post, but I had really really dry lips that week, and so, I'm not sure I'm looking my best. However, when I went back to Italy, I heard from several directors that people were loving the scene...
I love making TS movies, just like I love making movies in general, the only reservation I have, is that sometimes the TS girls, aren't really into girls, and I feel like a 3rd wheel, so now I always check that the tranny likes girls....
For the same director as Italian she-male 25, I made a movie around 2 months ago, and it was the best TS scene I've done. The TS was really into me, and (obviously with a condom) she even came whilst she was fucking me... very flattering! She had to pull out, whip off the condom, and just came in the middle of the scene, and then again at the end... the only issue with this scene is there is a passive boy in it as well, so it wouldn't suit those people who don't like that kind of thing...so I'm just warning you now...

Thanks for answering, Isabel. Now I know it is you I will have to check out the movie, especially after your comment in the other post about it having gone down so well with the punters. I will watch it and dream that I could be warming your lips. mod: nested quote removed Edited by - hardware on 9/28/2007 4:06:40 PM

Isabel as a TS I was wondering why you put "obviously with a condom". Why is that so obvious? I can see the "obvious" statement if it was shot outside of the U.S. As a transsexual Pornstar here in the U.S I choose that I be treated like yourself that I A.I.M test every thirty days............By the way you are very pretty and Im not attacking you in any way but some guys will take that statement as "oh I wore a condom because we know they are risky' or something like that. I hope we can work togethor sometime. Wendy Williams
Hi Wendy... How are you? The production in question was shot outside of the US, so the luxury of AIM testing wasn't available here in Europe. A lot of the TS girls are 1-film-wonders, unlike yourself, and the key TS performers in the US, who perform on a regular basis, under AIM's supervision like the rest of the US industry. I, however, would not work with a male without a condom, who could only produce one test, as we have a 3 month window period. We desperately need an AIM-like centre over here. XXX
