HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Gray Perrier appeared on episode 30 of the "Just Cruz'n Podcast," hosted by JR and Jazmine Cruz, now available on major streaming platforms.
The episode, titled "Gray Perrier | Navigating the Industry, Sexuality & Staying Authentic," features Perrier discussing her personal journey, career evolution, and experiences as a trans woman in the adult entertainment industry.
Perrier opened up about her transition journey that began in January 2021, sharing details about her hormone therapy, facial feminization surgery, and vocal feminization surgery. She shared that she initially worked as a professional dominatrix before entering the adult industry just over 10 months ago, which she describes as "a really [fucking] good year" that has left her feeling energized and excited about her future.
A representative for Perrier shared, "What sets this episode apart is Gray's remarkable transparency and willingness to share her experiences in such depth. Her story of personal discovery and professional growth is not only inspiring but also educational for anyone interested in understanding the trans experience within our industry."
Perrier discussed various aspects of her personal and professional life, including her college degrees in social work and Spanish, her experience as a collegiate cross-country and track runner, her stints in bartending and the coffee industry where she created training programs and traveled internationally. She also shared insights into her BDSM expertise, including her training in shibari rope bondage and bullwhip cracking.
Throughout the episode, Perrier emphasized the importance of authenticity, sharing how she's navigated her transition while building a successful career. She offered valuable advice for other trans individuals considering a similar path, noting that "embrace the process" and understanding that "transitioning takes time" are crucial elements of the journey.
"I'm in my top era now," Perrier reveals during the conversation, explaining how she initially identified as a submissive bottom but has since discovered a new enjoyment in topping. This shift in her professional identity has opened up new opportunities, including bookings with major studios like Adult Time for Transfixed, where one of her scenes ranked in the top 10 across their website.
The episode also touched on important industry topics such as the balance between professional work and maintaining a "vanilla" life, mental health, and self-care in the adult space, and Perrier's advocacy for more trans men in studio work.
Said the Just Cruz'n Podcast hosts, "It was an honor and a privilege to have Gray on the pod. She is so genuine, candid, sweet, and talk about hilarious. We can't wait to see what heights her grit and determination take her to in this industry!"
