Bailey Jay
Career
Jay built an audience on her own site and webcam work before either award body noticed, then won AVN Transsexual Performer of the Year in consecutive years, 2011 and 2012 — the first performer in the category to do so. Four years after her second win, with her studio output long behind her, AVN voters gave her the fan-voted Favorite Trans Performer award at the 33rd ceremony. The second half of her career has been audio: The Bailey Jay Show ran from 2010 to 2021, and she has since co-hosted The Trans Witching Hour, Blood Lust and Sugar and Spice with the actress Jen Richards, plus a Patreon-only show. She has been married to the photographer Matthew Terhune since 2011.
Signature: The first performer to win this category two years running, and the only one on this list whose second act is a fifteen-year podcasting career rather than a studio.
