Chicago \u2014Gorgeous trans performer Emma Rose has won the AVN Award for Trans Performer of the Year 2024 and although the sweet young lady was not granted stage time to accept this award, she still would like to share the words of gratitude she had written to her fans and industry associates that made her the big success that she is today.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, standing here for the second year in a row feels unreal. In 2022, I thought I was giving my all, but this past year truly tested me. It taught me a crucial lesson about balance \u2013 and the challenge of not being perfect.\u00a0I want to thank my PR agent Lainie Speiser, my production team, and three incredible women – Kazumi, Angela White, and Phoenix Marie – for their advice and support. But most importantly, I have the utmost respect for the trans women who paved the way for us with their unimaginable battles,\u201d wrote Emma Rose. \u201cA year ago, I spoke about how \u201ctrans sells\u201d but the reality today makes me question: Are we really making strides towards an equal industry, or are we merely upholding a facade? Respect is mutual and for me, it’s about ensuring trans performers occupy as much space and opportunity as our cis counterparts. This is not just because of performer preferences. I’ve lost count of how many performers want to work with me but are held back by their agents or sites that explicitly bar trans individuals from joining. This needs to change. To the studios, agents, and those who only support us when we\u2019re watching: Your time is up. We are here, we are talented, and we have fought to be treated as equals in this industry. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emma Rose also won Best Reality Virtual Reality Sex Scene with Dante Colle for \u201cMeasure Me,\u201d by VRB Trans.<\/p>\n
