Yasmin Lee (born June 3, 1983) is a transsexual pornographic film actress[1] and model.

Early life and career

Lee is of Thai, Cambodian, Chinese, and Brazilian heritage. She was born into a family of Cambodian refugees.[citation needed] Her parents moved from Thailand to the Philippines before finally settling down in Orange County, California.[citation needed] She joined the U.S. Navy at age 18 but left soon after due to sexuality-based harassment to pursue a career as a drag entertainer and make-up artist.[2] She worked as a make-up artist for Hollywood actresses and music video sets.[3] After beginning to transition, she left her job as a make-up artist due to fear of transphobic discrimination and began work as an assistant on pornography sets.[citation needed] She then worked as a casting director on adult films until she took the place of a woman who did not show up and began her career as an actor in adult films.[citation needed] She has twice been nominated for an AVN Award for her work in transsexual pornography.[citation needed]

In January 2010, Lee announced that she was going to have two surgeries in 2010 - one for an enhanced breast-cup size and another for circumcision.[4]

A regular performer at Kink.com, she won in 2011 the "Kinkiest TGirl Domme" Award.[1][5]

Mainstream appearances

She made her way into mainstream roles with special appearances on various TV shows, including The Maury Povich Show and The Tyra Banks Show.[citation needed] Additionally, she has acted in a few non-pornographic films, such as the 2011 horror film Red Ice and the 2011 comedy The Hangover Part II.[6]

Lee is also an active member of ACLU and takes part in events related to LGBT rights.[7][8]
