Three transgender porn stars have revealed the discrimination and physical challenges they have faced as trans women working in an already controversial industry.

Morgan Bailey, 32, Chelsea Poe, 24, and TS Foxxy, whose 'porn age is 27', shared their thoughts on the fetishization of transgender women and the difficulties they have faced while working in the adult film industry.

'We're getting more visibility than ever, but it's been one of the most violent years for trans women,' Chelsea told Cosmopolitan.com of the transgender community. 'I don't want trans women to be a niche. I want trans women to be in lesbian porn. I want trans women to be in straight porn. I want trans women to be treated just like any other women in porn.'

Life-changing: Transgender adult film star TS Foxxy, who is pictured at the 2015 Adult Video News Awards, said started doing porn because she wanted money and never thought it would turn into a career

According to a recent Human Rights Campaign report at least 21 people, almost all transgender women of color, have been murdered in the US during the first ten months of 2015.

When asked about derogatory terms like 'she-male' and 'tranny' being used to promote films staring transgender women, Chelsea revealed that she is receiving backlash from mainstream porn companies because she is openly challenging the use of those words as a marketing ploy that is 'essentially exploiting the community'.

'I still have friends who are being attacked and killed and having those same words screamed at them while they're being murdered,' she explained. 'So when people say, "Oh those words just exist in porn," that's bulls*** because porn doesn't exist in a vacuum.'

However, Morgan and Foxxy, who are older than Chelsea, said they are more forgiving of the terms when the are being used in the adult film industry.

Morgan explained that although she respects younger stars feminist views, she knows that there is no avoiding the fact that these types of labels are what makes films sell.

'When I first started doing porn I hated the word "she-male". But that's how you market yourself,' she said. 'If that's a tagline you have to throw on to make something sell, then that's what you have to do.'

Rising star: Chelsea Poe, a 24-year-old who as worked in the industry for two years, said she wants transgender women like herself be to be treated the same as 'any other women in porn'

Foxxy, who has been featured in adult films for a decade, agreed with Morgan and noted that porn is an industry that refers to women as 'sluts and whores, and MILFs', which she believes the are 'just slang words'.

She explained that when she approached about being an adult film star when she was working as a go-go dancer in Las Vegas, she didn't even know there is 'actual porn for transsexuals', but decided to try it out because she was 'already dancing half naked'.

'I was doing it for the money. I never thought about it as a career,' she admitted. 'I was just trying to get my breast implants and I wanted braces.'

Morgan she never intended to become a porn start, but when she was 24, she had just gotten out of relationship and started submitting pictures because she was 'looking for validation' at the time.

A few of the girls in the industry whom she spoke with online told her she wouldn't make it because all of her tattoos, which only made her more determined to get discovered.

'I did a scene and it just kind of snowballed ... I ended up building a really big career because of it,' she said.

Meanwhile, Chelsea who has only been porn for two years, said she started 'web-camming' and got booked for porn series after she went to see queer porn star Jiz Lee speak.

Personal opinion: Morgan Bailey, 32, who has been in the adult film industry since 2008, noted that men can be attracted to trans women without fetishizing them

The women also spoke candidly about how their work requires them alter their hormones in order to be able to perform on camera.

Foxxy recalled during her first 'hardcore' film, she was told to take Viagra because the estrogen she takes makes it difficult for her to stay erect.

Chelsea said she also took medication for one of her first shoot, but it was a 'terrifying' experience because she was never told what it was.

'What ends up happening is a lot of trans women in porn have to go off hormones to perform,' she explained. 'And obviously doing that is super harmful to your body. It's like going through puberty again.'

And unsurprisingly, the women, who all entered the porn industry at different times in their lives, have different views on being fetishized.

Morgan said believes 'it's great that guys fetishize trans women', but she noted that men can be attracted to trans women without fetishizing them. However, she has no patience for people who has why she doesn't 'full transition' when they really want to know if she has a vagina.
