Ariel Demure Wins BIG at XMAs
(Hollywood, CA) It’s a two-peat for smoking hot, glamorous, versatile, and multi-award-winning trans performer Ariel Demure—she took home the coveted trophy for Trans Performer of the Year at the XMAs and another one for her scene work. Plus, her Gender X Films feature won Best Trans Movie, making the night complete.
The 2026 XMAs were hosted by Violet Myers and Kazumi at the world-famous Hollywood Palladium. It was a star-studded red carpet and a packed house. Jim Powers’ Gender X Films’ “Transpirella” was the first to win an award for Best Trans Movie—Ariel was cast in the starring role, so she joined Jim on stage with other cast members as he accepted the award. Later in the evening, when the big awards were being announced, they got to the Trans Performer of the Year award—for the second year in a row, Ariel took home the trophy. Although surprised, Ariel took to the stage with an eloquent speech thanking her agent, publicist, and directors and studios who hire her.
Ariel’s third award was shown on the screen at the end of the night. She took home a second trophy for Best Sex Scene – Trans for Gender X Films’ epic, all-star “Trans Orgy” directed by Jim Powers and also starring Tori Easton, Brittney Kade, Khloe Kay, Kasey Kei, Lola Morena, Jade Venus, Cherry Kiss, Michael DelRay, Wolf Hudson, Cliff Jensen, and Steve Rickz.
“Wow, what an incredible night! I was thrilled Jim took home the trophy for ‘Transpirella’—he put his soul into it, and I had an amazing time playing the character. Thank you, XBIZ, for recognizing me again and giving me Trans Performer of the Year and Best Sex Scene -Trans. It’s an honor how well you treat the trans community,” says Ariel Demure.
