l: natalie mars, r: lindsey love

well, that didn't take long. two days ago, i said i probably wouldn't review any trans scenes but transfixed's this month, because trans-woman-on-cis-woman porn is so much less common than trans-woman-on-cis-man. but of course that doesn't mean there isn't any except what gamma produces.

trans angels is mindgeek's trans porn brand, and it does mostly feature boy/girl (or, if you need the qualifiers, cboy/tgirl). but there's also the occasional girl/girl (tgirl/cgirl or indeed tgirl/tgirl) scene, and this one popped up so quickly that it's almost like mindgeek was anticipating my criticisms.

it's very much a mindgeek scene, with a campy intro laid out in a very specific and vaguely funny script, blandly but competently filmed, with a bright and colorful look, goofy acting, and ridiculously uncomfortable sex positions. natalie mars, with her signature heavy bangs, is one of the most distinctively beautiful trans pornstars, and an acting talent as well; lindsey love, who i haven't seen before, keeps up with her well. they both keep calling back to the cheerleader premise during the sex, not that the viewer is likely to forget it, as they keep their cheer sweatshirts on, only pulled up so their breasts are visible, in silly but venerable porn tradition.

the visuals got a bit duller once they shifted from the outdoors lawn to a basement rec room, and it never has a tenth of transfixed's stylishness, but the basic sitcom-level competence of the camerawork and editing also makes the scene hard to ding for any reason other than it's the sort of thing a regular porn consumer has seen a million times, even if they've never seen it performed by a trans woman before.
