How Trans People Are Changing Porn

While an epidemic of anti-trans violence unfolds across the globe, there has also been a dramatic rise in the number of people seeking out porn that features trans people.

According to Pornhub's 2018 Year In Review, which averages over 92 million visitors a day, the website has seen a massive increase in the number of searches for trans porn.

Trans porn has become one of the top searches across all of the site's content categories.

This week, The Ten podcast breaks down how to reconcile this new data about the porn industry during a time when the amount of violence directed at the trans community continues to grow.

Zach Stafford is joined by Venus Lux, a porn star who's trans and runs her own production company, and Matt Slusarenko, the VP of Marketing and Businesses development at Kink.com, which was a pioneer in creating trans-inclusive porn.
