PASS Board Secretary

Lucy Hart performed in her first adult film in 2007.  She has since performed and directed in adult film as a man, non-binary person, and trans woman.  She is the only person to win adult film awards in three genders including Male Performer of the Year, Best Male Fetish Performer, Best Trans Performer, Best Parody (directing), Best Fetish Scene (directing and performing) and Best Group Sex Scene (performing).  She spent the bulk of her performing work in gay, straight and trans BDSM.  She spent the bulk of her directing and producing work for her own company, PervOUT where she directed gay, bisexual, trans, and queer fetish movies.  

When she was "Lance Hart," she was the founder and CEO of the PervOUT Network, PervOUT Pay (a P2P payment solution for sex workers), and PervOUT Education (a free online program to bridge the information gaps created by systemic racism in entrepreneurship).  She was also the spokesmodel for Playgirl.

At the age of 42, Lucy began transitioning to female with hormones and underwent 5 gender affirming surgeries in under 7 months.  In 2022 Lucy sold PervOUT and relocated from Las Vegas to Brooklyn.  On arrival, she was cast in a three movie deal as the star and villain in a series of horror movies.  The first of which, Director's Cut, scored 93% on Rotten Tomatoes after a nationwide run in theaters.  

Lucy splits her time between acting, in person sex work, directing independent fetish film, writing, and arms dealing.  She dedicates her free time to serving on this board, the board of directors for The Free Speech Coalition, and running a peer-to-peer suicide hotline for trans women called "Down Divas."
