Spaces & Culture

• Ballroom Culture: Originating in Black and Latinx trans and queer communities in 1980s NYC, ballroom gave us voguing, “realness,” and houses (chosen families). Mainstreamed by Pose and Paris is Burning.
• Chosen Family: A cornerstone of trans/queer survival—creating family bonds outside biological kin.
• Pride Parades: Trans people have always marched, though tensions exist over corporate co-optation and exclusion of trans bodies.

Performers in this industry are primarily recognized through the AVN Awards and the Transgender Erotica Awards (TEAs). Laverne Cox
