MONTREAL — Transfixed, the trans erotica imprint of Adult Time, is marking International Transgender Day of Visibility today with the announcement of two new series: "Transgressive Films" and "Being Trans 24/7."
The streaming service will additionally donate all studio revenues generated today from Devil's TGirls and Transfixed to the National Center for Transgender Equality at TransEquality.org.
"Following in the footsteps of the pioneering trans women-on-women film series that exquisitely showcases the industry’s most popular TS supermodels, the two all-new Transfixed spinoff series seek to amplify the popular genre to new levels of mainstream exposure," noted a rep.
"Transgressive Films" will release its first episode April 26.
The series will showcase "thought-provoking, true-to-life storylines that challenge the treatment of trans individuals in society and the adult industry by tackling the stigmas and prejudices they face," the rep explained.
The second new series, "Being Trans 24/7," launches May 17.
The documentary series "explores the deeply-personal experiences of what it means to be trans in today’s society. Shot by trans creators, the trans performer series beautifully captures individual portraits from all walks of life — different generations, backgrounds and cultures — giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."
Bree Mills, CCO for Adult Time, noted that "promoting equality starts with inclusivity and challenging the rigidity of conventional porn categories."
"We hope that each of our trans-led series will set a standard for quality filmmaking and working collaboratively with trans performers to elevate their voices," continued Mills. "But, even more fundamentally, casting trans performers across the spectrum of our platform’s different series is where we can have the most impact. I am proud to see the inclusion of trans talent across Adult Time studios and the fact that the roles they play have nothing to do with gender."
Mills said trans performers are "finding their way onto the welcoming sets of traditionally cisgender productions, and their onscreen presence in starring roles for studios such as Pure Taboo and Burning Angel is changing the face of modern adult film."
"The most important thing we are doing is being inclusive of trans performers across our various existing studios,” Mills continued. "We aim to feature more trans talent and are currently lining up projects that elevate their visibility across a variety of different genres and themes — and this is what trans performers are really campaigning for."
The filmmaker also noted that Season Two of the XBIZ-winning "Transfixed" series will resume "in the coming weeks" with an all-new episode featuring Daisy Taylor and Siri Dahl.
