Another day, another trans superstar stacking nominations like it’s nothing. This time it’s that fiery redhead Crystal Thayer waking up to some very good news from AVN.
Crystal Thayer Earns 2026 AVN Nod for Sizzling Gender X Three-Way
The Avalon in Hollywood was popping last night for the annual AVN Nominations bash—red carpet, free booze, the usual chaos. While everyone was busy snapping selfies, a few heavy-hitting categories dropped, and Crystal’s name lit up the room.
The Scene That Did It
We’re talking My First Trans Lover – Scene 2 from Gender X. Crystal teams up with the always-dangerous Tori Easton to give gorgeous newcomer Raven Lane her very first taste of trans cock—and they do not go easy on her.
Spit-roasting, deep-throating, the full initiation package. Directed by the trans genre king Jim Powers, it’s one of those scenes you remember exactly where you were when you first hit play. No surprise it snagged the Best Trans Group Sex Scene nomination for the 2026 AVN Awards.
“This was a great scene to film. Tori is always a great scene partner, and Raven was eager and willing to learn. And Jim Powers is one of the best trans directors in the biz. Thank you so much, AVN, for this nomination.”
– Crystal Thayer
Why This Nomination Actually Matters
Look, trans group categories used to be an afterthought. Not anymore. When a scene this high-energy, this chemistry-drenched gets recognized, it’s proof the mainstream side of the industry is finally paying attention to trans performers doing next-level work.
Crystal and Tori didn’t just show up—they mentored Raven through her first trans experience on camera and made it look effortless. That’s the kind of performance voters remember when ballots go out.
What’s Next for Crystal
The full nominee list is up at avn.com if you’re curious who she’s up against (spoiler: it’s stacked). Fan voting drops soon, so expect the usual frenzy.
Awards night goes down January 24, 2026 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. If Crystal walks away with that trophy, drinks are on her—trust me.
