As the buzz circulates about Steve Holmes, I was thinking today about August Ames and how her life ended.
She took a stand and said it was her body, her choice. She chose not to be with someone who did crossover. When she dared to say this, she was attacked. I still think back to that video about her death that displayed all the things said to her.
On the internet, people can be brutal. Here is a sad chapter involving Steve Holmes.
Why am I bringing this up? Well, last week, male performer Steve Holmes got a booking for Evil Angel. The call sheet never mentioned that the female talent was transgender.
He showed up on set and was shocked to find out that the female talent he would be worked with had male genitals.
It’s clearly a sensitive subject that’s hard to talk about.
But we need to.
Because this person is being bullied for his decision to leave the set that day and refuse to do the scene.
He said that he wasn’t notified in advance that the other person was transgender. Had he known, he would not have accepted the booking in the first place.
Evil Angel is the one in the wrong. They should have informed everyone in advance of all details of the scene.
But how do we react?
We attack Steve Holmes. We call him names. We bully him online.
Even Bree Mills from Gamma had the nerve to speak out against him.
Her tweet is condemning this male performer for making a choice about his body.
That’s his right to do so.
Again, I remind you HIS BODY HIS RIGHT.
How quickly we forgot that when August Ames made a decision about her body, people like Jessica Drake attacked her.
Of course, when Jessica Drake said this, this caused all of Jessica Drake’s fans to pile on and attack August Ames as well.
Adriana Chechik did the same. This, of course, then caused all of Adriana Chechik’s fans to attack August Ames at a moment when she was already vulnerable.
The very same thing is happening right now to Steve Holmes.
Let’s start at the beginning.
Steve Holmes was booked for a scene by Evil Angel. Nobody told him that the female talent was transgender. He showed up on set, found out, and was like, umm no, bye. And he left.
Over the last three days, he has been ruthlessly attacked by fans and industry professionals alike. People like Bree Mills included (as shown above).
How might you ask is it possible that Steve Holmes didn’t know Aubrey Kate was trans? Well, this is his answer, and it seems reasonable.
Do you know the back story of every single porn performer in the adult industry? I know I don’t.
So one can reasonably assume neither did Steve.
But it’s Twitter, so of course, things couldn’t just end there.
The pile-on was huge and has continued for the last few days.
The interesting part is, though, Steve Holmes doesn’t have a place (other than his Twitter feed) to defend himself, and he has every right to. So we’ve decided to give him a voice.
Let me be clear here, I’m not a Steve Holmes fan. I don’t know him, so I have no feelings about him either way.
But I do see history repeating itself, and I want to give him a voice, a public voice, allowing him to tell his side of the story.
And these two tweets are why.
So here is Steve’s side of the story.
In the end, you have to ask yourself just one simple question? What right do you have to comment on what someone else decides about his or her body?
In case you are confused, let me make it easy for you. The answer is none.
You don’t have a say.
I don’t know this dude. I’m not his friend.
But I see an injustice going on here. It’s not right, and it needs to stop.
UPDATE: People are saying that he didn’t do his research.
I guess they didn’t read all of the story. We covered this. It clearly states he pulled up her Twitter feed, and this is what he saw.
Nowhere does it say TS or transgender. If you go on any dating app, like Tinder or Seeking Arrangements, the profiles are clearly labeled. This avoids any and all confusion in advance.
But even if he did or didn’t do his research. Many are still missing the point. Evil Angel mislead him. Evil Angel did not disclose this in advance. We showed you the call sheet earlier in the post.
People like Erika Icon are fanning the flames.
In reality, he did his research. He put forth an effort to check out Aubrey Kate’s Twitter. He had a conversation with Aubrey, and she chose not to disclose her truth.

Holmes isn’t being attacked for not wanting to have sex with Kate. He is being attacked for being rude to her and referring to her with “he/she” and other transphobic expressions.
And seriously, Aubrey Kate is literally the most famous trans pornstar these days, and has been at the front line for the last
3-4 years or so.
Holmes must be really, really living under a rock if he hasn’t heard of her.
This is fucked up.
I wonder what is the break down , Percentage of porn fans who has never watched a Trans Scene ? I certainly have not. So this is not my thing, so to speak. WHATS THE BIG DEAL HERE ? THE MAN DONT WANT TO FUCK A TRANNY. I suspect most would not have this on their bucket list of things to do. Get over it.
Has Kate stated anywhere in the header on her twitter account, that she is a transgender.? I have never heard of her.
I consider myself quite astute and informed, yet never really heard of her. It is very reasonable in expectations that I would not have heard of her and I don’t think I live under a rock, By no stretch of the imagination.
This situation /understanding requires a certain maturity, empathy and selfless.
He is just not into trans.. The call sheet should have been clear and accurate and honest. This is suspect to an element of shady and deception.
It is his body and thus his choice. Works both ways and with all genders, Steve would have turn the scene down if he was properly informed about what the scene required. This is standard, or i hope nothing has changed
Are Male talents now subject to ambush style surprises also ?
Hey Evil Angel, at least a fucking hint next time to the talents.
Like
” dear female talent ….your scene tomorrow morning is a…BBBBBBBG ….well kind of” ” also appearing is John Stag.. the rest we leave to your imagination “
No wonder Manuel left that shit show of a company
Been watching porn for 20 years. Never saw a tranny flick. Never heard of Aubrey Kate until today. To assume everyone knows who Aubrey Kate is, only shows your ignorance. Not everyone is into chicks with dicks.
Why does it not surprise me that the company in question is none other than Evil Angel? Need I remind you that John Stagliano, wh is HIV positive has been called out time and again for being untested and touching the performers not only with his fingers like in the case of Katie Summers
http://lukeford.com/2013-06-20/avn-goes-public-with-their-support-of-evil-angel/
But also with his dick, in the case of two other performers.
http://lukeford.com/2018-08-02/hiv-positive-john-stagliano-caught-with-his-pants-down-yet-again/
He’s HIV positive.
He doesn’t disclose this.
He’s not tested in the industry-approved system.
Why pull your dick out at all on set?
God, I hate Evil Angel and John Stagliano.
And how the hell can Bree Mills come out and talk shit when she herself is a known sexual predator. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?!?!
I need to be clear here – John Stagliano from Evil Angel is HIV positive, and this has been known since January of 1997. It’s a sad truth that new girls coming into the industry have no way to know that because he damn sure doesn’t disclose it.
Let me repeat, so there is no confusion…
John Stagliano from Evil Angel is HIV positive.
He does not test like the rest of the performers in the adult industry do and is not part of the PASS system. So why then is he on a porn set having sexual contact with a performer?
Steve will probably escape this as long as he doesn’t incite the mob. I really don’t see how this is his fault? I guess he didn’t know who she was and Aubrey has male genitals. I’m pretty sure Nat Turnher would have said the same thing.
Been watching porn for 40 years and never had any interest in watching a Tranny scene. Never heard of Aubrey Kate either.
I am glad there is some sanity left in this industry. People should have the right to fuck and not fuck whomever they wish as long as if they are fucking it is consensual on all sides. I would have walked away from the scene, too.
I don’t have anything against Aubrey other than she should note on her Twatter bio that she is a transgender person but I said the same thing when the August Ames thing blew up, we have the right to not fuck anyone we wish and shouldn’t have to explain why. Steve was nice enough to explain that he is not attracted to transgender women (male to female trans) that still have their dicks attached to them.
Good enough for me and I think it should be good enough for whatever EA director he was scheduled to work for. Steve is a professional and has been for at least 15 years, he is not known for walking off of set and has fucked almost every cis woman in this industry without complaint including the skanky, overly tatted chicks that it surprises me that men in this industry can even get an erection to (Steve is known for always having an erection when it is needed on set).
As for Bree Mills, maybe she should stick to directing scenes for her employer and not essentially saying that people don’t have the right to reject scenes because they aren’t told that the star of the scene is trans and has a dick.
Is that how she does business at her own company, too? How would Bree feel if (since she is lesbian) someone scheduled a scene with her and the extra cute Christie Stevens and when she got there the scene had been changed to Bree having to take my 400 pound, four inch dick along with three of my big dicked friends and John Stagliano’s AIDS dick up her ass while she is tied to the bed, whipped, caned, electrocuted and gagged with duct tape?
This was a setup. Steve isn’t known for shooting trans but this trans contacted him directly out of the blue, didn’t disclose their trans then colluded with evil angel to trick Steve into banging a trans by calling it a B/G/G/A instead of boy/girl/trans/anal. Then when plan A fails, resort to plan B, post all the private messages to get him cancelled. The trans threw the bait to steve and he took it by responding to the cancelled scene and BAM, screenshot. I’ve been watching porn since the 90’s and NEVER heard of this trans until that day. No guy in porn does “research” on a chick, that’s for the director (who didn’t confirm with steve that filming with trans is okay). The twitter mob just loves to attack people for the simplest thing. I suggest every male performer to add “I don’t consent to my reply being recorded and posted publicly” to messages DM and email. In fact, i suggest male performers don’t even speak to female talent via DM, just tell them to contact your agent, she just might be luring you in a trap.
Holmes admitted he was a chi chi man prior to porno. It caught Kira Noir & Eliza Ibarra by surprise
People like Steve Holmes don’t usually have agents. The man has been in porn for 20 years and under normal circumstances has more call for work than he can take. If Aubrey set Steve up she should be the one tossed out of the industry on her ass! Since Evil Angel is a company that releases independent director movies/scenes and isn’t centrally managed sort of like the new Kink.com is, not like New Sensations is and Vivid and Wicked was where movies are directly funded by and assigned to directors by management so John Stagliano might not even know about this although if the director set up Steve he should be banned from distribution of his movies by the company by John. Stags should know more than anyone else in the industry about the reasons people would not want to work with trans performers since he got AIDS from one in Brazil about 25 years ago. If I were him I would think twice about working scenes that Bree Mills directs after her reaction to all of this, though, it sounds like she has some problem with him anyway so why would he work for her.
Lenderis, is it possible that maybe since Steve doesn’t deal with trans performers he doesn’t know the appropriate titles? Even I had to ask a trans person how to address trans people in general. There is a high chance that other than maybe saying “hello” in the hallways of the old Kink studios he has never dealt with trans people in the past. It should be noted that at first glance Aubrey does not appear to be trans. Hell, I even ran into a situation with a trans woman whose own mother called her a “he/she” right next to her once (this was not on a porn set). Steve seems like a decent guy, I think he should be given a chance here considering there hasn’t been any incident with him in 20 years of performing and other than the “he/she” post he didn’t do anything that could be conceived of as wrong here. From what I can see he certainly didn’t address her as “it” or “tranny” like many bigots would which would raise my eyebrows much more in this situation. Aubrey and Bree are going to have to present more damning evidence before I will even chastise Steve over this.
Steve does some of the most creepiest bts on his youtube. I just watched the most recent w Rebel Rhyder. He’s kissing on her, she’s obviously skeeved. She said her husband of 4 yrs is the same age as he is (see cuck). He admitted that some chicks don’t want to shoot w him because of his age.
I have seen his YT channel. The pervy bit is part of his brand, if the girl/woman is really peeved about it he shouldn’t be doing it but it might also be an act. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether what is going on is an act for the camera or if something is really wrong.
This that Smoke_The_One said needs to be repeated.

@bigboutya, so age discrimination is okay. The women in question are getting PAID to get “perved on”/have sex with him/swallow his cum, so I don’t think they get to complain about age. However, he certainly has the right to complain about being deceived and entrapped by this very unscrupulous transgender woman.
This is insanity, aubrey kate has a dick, steve holmes is attracted to vagina. They all lied and then tried to attack him after he realized their lies. Hello????
Any of you calling this “transphobic” is the same as arguing that if someone isnt gay they are “homophobic”. This article got it right, the rest of you are flat out wrong
