Bonnie Blue isn’t just an adult film actress; she’s a certified legend. With a Guinness World Record for most adult films made in a single year (over 1,000 titles in 2022), Bonnie has carved out a place in adult entertainment history through her relentless work ethic, professionalism, and unapologetic confidence. But even all that success hasn’t shielded her from a deeply disturbing internet trend: being accused of being transgender by conspiracy theorists in a bizarre online campaign known as transvestigation.
In a recent interview, Blue addressed the growing number of social media users attempting to “analyze” her body and declare, based on nothing but speculation and pseudoscience, that she’s a trans woman. “I don’t really know where they’re getting this from,” she said. “But it’s simply not true.”
The conspiracy, which relies heavily on transphobic tropes and sexist assumptions, has been circulating in fringe gender-critical circles and far-right communities. And it’s not just about Bonnie. It’s part of a larger, ugly trend: using “transvestigation” as a smear tactic against successful, confident women, cis and trans alike.
More Than Just an Actress
Bonnie Blue’s career isn’t defined by controversy. It’s defined by her record-breaking output, her versatility on screen, and her reputation for being one of the most hardworking performers in the industry. Over the past few years, she’s become something of an underground icon, not just for the sheer volume of her work, but for the way she’s reclaimed sexual expression on her own terms.
Her Guinness World Record is more than just a fun fact; it’s a testament to her commitment, physical endurance, and ability to thrive in an industry known for burnout and exploitation. She’s flipped the narrative, turning adult performance into an art form of agency and ambition.
So why are people so eager to tear her down?
The Harm Behind the Accusation
Accusing a public figure of “secretly” being transgender has become a way for bad-faith actors to try and strip women of their success. It’s rooted in the idea that womanhood must conform to strict, fragile rules, and if a woman is too tall, too confident, too built, too sexual, or too anything, she must be faking it.
That’s the core of transvestigation culture: misogyny dressed up as internet sleuthing, weaponized against both trans women and cis women alike. It suggests that being trans is something shameful. It implies that womanhood must pass a litmus test of bones, hips, and Photoshop zoom-ins.
And for trans women, it’s even more dangerous. This culture of scrutiny reinforces harmful stereotypes about deception and invites harassment. It’s not really about “uncovering truth.” It’s about control and fear.
The Bottom Line
Bonnie Blue didn’t ask to be dragged into an internet conspiracy. But her experience shows how transphobia doesn’t stop at trans people; it spills out onto anyone who challenges the narrow, outdated definitions of what a woman “should” look like.
Blue is a world record-holding adult actress who built her name through talent, hustle, and unapologetic authenticity. That should be the story. Not some whisper campaign rooted in transphobic garbage.
At TransVitae, we believe there’s no shame in being trans and certainly no shame in being a woman, period. Whether cis or trans, women deserve to be celebrated for who they are, not dissected by strangers trying to play gender police from behind a keyboard.
