Hollywood just got a hell of a lot hotter—and louder. Last month, the Trans Erotica Awards 2025 rolled into town, and let’s just say the vibe was less “kumbaya” and more “fuck you, we’re here.” The trans porn scene isn’t backing down, not with the likes of Joey Michaels, Steve Rickz, Cliff Jensen, and Austin Spears snagging some of the night’s biggest wins. This wasn’t just a pat on the back for killer performances—it was a middle finger to the haters, Trumpism included. Buckle up, because these guys brought the heat.
A Night of Triumph and Defiance
The speeches? Oh, they were spicy. Siri Dahl didn’t mince words:
“F*** Trump, f*** Elon, f*** J.K. Rowling, and f*** transphobes!”
– Siri Dahl, Best Non-Trans Female Performer
Buddy Wood, picking up a Lifetime Achievement Award, doubled down: “F*** Donald Trump and God bless trans creators!” Meanwhile, Domino Presley, crowned Genderx Model of the Year, laid it bare: “Our community’s under attack, but our strength is in sticking together.” The room was electric, raw, and unapologetic—exactly what you’d expect from an industry that’s had to fight for every damn inch.
Joey Michaels: Transmac King Rises
Joey Michaels walked away with not one but two awards: Best Transmac Performer and Best Transmac Scene for A Hole Lotta Love alongside Austin Spears and Michael Jackman. “Something wild happened Sunday,” Joey gushed. “It was my first win, and it means the world that my community sees me.” This guy’s got an angel face and a gravelly voice that’ll stop you dead—oh, and a backstory that’s pure grit. Coming out at 11, he was snipping his own hair and raiding Dad’s closet way before hormones at 18. Now? He’s a staple in trans, bi, and gay studios. Check his work in Pansexual College Fuckfest on WhyNotBi—it’s a sweaty, chaotic masterpiece.
Steve Rickz: Crossover Badass Does It Again
Steve Rickz nabbed Best Non-Trans Male Performer and lit up the Best Trio/Plus category with Bachelor Party Surprise. “Big thanks to Buddy Wood and Grooby,” he said, grinning ear to ear. “And to my girl Eris Jolie for keeping me sane.” This dude’s been at it since 2016, hopping between hetero, bi, trans, and gay like it’s nothing. Last year, he took home the same award—proof he’s got staying power. His gangbang scene with Brittney Kade and a half-dozen others? Filthy, wild, and a total win for AccidentalGangbang. Dude’s a legend for a reason.
Cliff Jensen: From Gay Roots to Silicone Glory
Cliff Jensen scored Best Boy/Girl Scene with Amanda Riley in TS Hot Wives 4. On stage, he kept it short and sweet: “It was all about her.” Starting in gay porn back in 2010, Cliff’s since gone full crossover—bi, trans, hetero, you name it. His latest flex? A silicone sex doll modeled after him by IronTech Doll. Yeah, you heard that right. The man’s a brand now. His scene with Riley’s a slow-burn banger—intimate, dirty, and damn near perfect. Curious about the doll? IronTech has the juicy details.
Austin Spears: The Multi-Awarded Maverick
Austin Spears teamed up with Joey Michaels for that Best Transmac Scene win in A Hole Lotta Love. This isn’t his first rodeo—he snagged Pornhub Model of the Year in 2024. Austin’s a force, plain and simple. The Men shoot was a sweaty, high-energy threesome with Michael Jackman (now retired), and it’s no shock it took the crown. Austin’s got that rare mix of charisma and raw talent—watch him, and you’ll get why he’s racking up hardware.
The Bigger Picture: A Community on Edge
Beyond the trophies, the night was a battle cry. Rick Garcia nailed it: “Respect to all—until they disrespect us. Then fuck ‘em.” The trans adult world’s staring down some ugly political headwinds, and they’re not blinking. These awards aren’t just about who’s banging who best—they’re about survival, defiance, and a tight-knit crew refusing to fold. Curious about the full winner lineup? Wikipedia has the rundown.
So yeah, the Trans Erotica Awards 2025 were a hell of a ride. These guys—Joey, Steve, Cliff, Austin—aren’t just winners; they’re the pulse of a scene that’s loud, proud, and ready to scrap. See you next year.
