AVN 2009 Transsexual Performer of the Year Wendy Williams

In recent years, with help from the Internet, transsexual performers have moved closer to the pornography mainstream. Wendy Williams, who lives as a woman but is anatomically male from the waist down, is something of a trailblazer in that evolution. Since beginning her career in 2003, she has made 50 movies and won the 2009 AVN Award for Transsexual Performer of the Year (a category that AVN, the porn equivalent of the Oscars, added only in 2004). She is the only transsexual performer with her own independent studio, HotWendy Productions. She’s signing autographs and DVDs Friday at Rainbow Video.
