Pornhub's top trans performer is speaking up for the LGBTQ+ community.
Queen behavior!
Pornhub recently dropped their annual statistics for Transgender Day of Visibility and Emma Rose secured the top spot as the number one trans performer on the popular adult site.
Since her debut back in 2020, Rose quickly shot to fame once she decided to fully embark on a career in the adult entertainment industry.
"It's a dream come true! I've been working for years to get to this point. Especially in how the climate is today, it's really important [that people] just see us as equals," Rose tells PRIDE.
Along with the top entertainers, this year's data also includes the most searched transgender terms, trans searches by gender, top viewing states and countries, and so much more.
"It's been amazing to see that growth. Trans is the [fifth] most watched genre in the industry! I think that the stigma is finally going away. OnlyFans really helped with that because when COVID hit, nobody was working."
Politically, many people in conservative areas often speak out against the transgender community and advocate for their rights to be taken away. However, Republican states typically consume the most trans content on Pornhub and Ohio even took the top spot as the state that watches the most transgender adult films.
"I have a lot of people who are in the closet and very right-leaning that are on my [sites]. They talk really negatively and I just need y'all to find your truth. We're living our truth, okay? We don't need to get shamed because you're attracted to us. We're not props for your desires. We are real people. We deserve to be equal and have basic courtesy."
