Poll: Transgenders on Babepedia in 2024?

by

In 2017, we held a poll on this blog about whether or not to create a profile page for the first transgender Playboy Playmate, Ines Rau. Although the vote was overwhelming for “no,” we decided to create a profile for Ines a few years later because she is post-op, and we wanted a complete listing of all the Playboy Playmates. Times are changing, taboos are fading away, and there seems to be a growing demand to allow transexuals. It feels like the right time to evaluate our transgender/transexual policy.

Trans porn is now one of the most popular categories on Pornhub. There are ample trans porn sites on the web available.

According to the annual Pornhub Year in Review report, the platform’s “transgender” category experienced a massive boost in searches over the past 12 months, growing by over 75% to become the 7th most popular section in the world. The adult platform went on to note that the increase has led to trans porn becoming the most viewed category in Brazil.

Help us determine just the right female body types

by

As a Pedia for all sorts of Babes, we need an accurate and distinct way to describe the appearance of nearly 30.000 females we already have on a website. One of the first things that come to mind when you describe women is the body type they have.
Right now, under the Add/edit biography – Body information section you can choose one of those:

  • Muscular
  • Athletic
  • Slim
  • Average
  • Chubby
  • BBW

We are open to changing these options if it brings improvement. One could argue the difference between muscular and athletic, or the need to add “curvy” to the list. The could be found numerous charts for body types that are different from ours.

Do we need “Anorexic” or “Boyish” added to Babepedia? Is curvy self-explanatory?

In fact, users find “Curvy” the most attractive of all according to some polls.

“Curvy” wins the competition, but we don’t even have that option on Babepedia.

Users have fun combining this list with alcohol consumption rates: 

Is this offensive?

Another list suggests defining just by the looks of the hips and the belly. Is “Underweight” and “Slim” the same thing as “Anorexic” and “Boyish” and what sounds better?

Hips could help to differentiate the female appearance.

The picture below is showing the body fat percentage for women, but not naming the types. How would you title these 9 babes according to their body types?

Share your own list with us in the comments!

Which words should we use for describing the body type and which should we not? What should be added to the existing Babepedia body types list? Please let us know down in the comments. This is an important and sensitive topic and we do need your feedback!

Ines Rau, Transgender Playmate – To Profile or Not To Profile?

by

The results are in, and the No’s and the I don’t care votes account for about 66%.  Therefore, the community has spoken and we will not be adding a profile for Ines Rau at this time. That does not mean that we may not add Ines’s profile at a later time.

Thank you to all who voted, and we understand many are quite passionate about this issue, on both sides of the debate.  We respect the opinions of both sides and thank you for your participation in helping to shape Babepedia in the way you, as a community, wish.

Update in 2020:  Times are changing and we’re receiving more and more requests to add transgender profiles. Despite an overwhelming majority for the “No” option in 2017, we’ve decided to add Ines Rau and allow post-op transgenders on our site. For now, we’re still standing by our no-cock policy.
