Transgender Erotica Awards Adds Best Female Non-TS Performer Category

Los Angeles, CA – The Transgender Erotica Awards announced the addition of a new category this year, Best Female Non-TS Performer.

“There have always been cis-female performers interacting with trans performers in erotica, but it seems like their presence over the last few years has grown substantially, helped partially by the emergence of the FTM porn and by the amount of trans girls who are looking to work in this specific niche,” said Grooby owner Steven Grooby. “Some companies have always run lines specializing in TS with cis-female performers but in recent award shows, it seems that the females in this award category, get squeezed out by the guys who are doing quite a different type of performance.  It seemed more appropriate and fairer to to create a separate award for those female performers to get into – and their fans, producers and models to rally behind. We’re really looking forward to seeing the nominees for this award.”

There are currently over 20 categories, including special ‘Model of the Year’ awards sponsored by various companies. Pre-nomination voting is still open, with results being compiled into a short list of nominees for a secret panel of judges to vote on in the coming months. Other winners will be chosen by fan vote or by the company sponsoring the category as listed accordingly at theteashow.com.

The Transgender Erotica Awards, now in its eighth year, celebrates the accomplishments of the trans adult industry and its performers. Due to its growing popularity, the TEAs have been expanded into a three day event kicking off with a daytime TEA Con for fans on Saturday, the Awards on Sunday, and the official After Party on Monday.

The 2016 Transgender Erotica Awards will be held on Sunday, March 6, 2016 at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA. The official After Party will be held on Monday, March 7, 2016 at the Avalon’s connecting property, the Bardot. More information can be found at theteashow.com.
