I always wondered whethter there is a website where you can see/find a real transsexual developing?
without the loads of silicon and so on.

She's probably out, living real life, and all the good and bad things that come along with that. In my experiences, if she's on the Internet *and* out about her TS/TG status at all, then she's more likely to be on socio-political blogs and fora, and may be actively hostile toward anything at all about trans women in the porn industry (pro tip: Not all trans people living as their gender are necessarily "out" in all aspects of their life; in a lot of TS/TG circles, this is called "living stealth").
Then there's Tobi Hill-Meyer (and a very small handful like her) who're both political and porn-positive, and who tend to hang out more in explicitly Queer (and "queer porn", which is somewhat political and largely lesbian-oriented) corners of the web than in laces where it's about "mainstream" porn --which, let's be frank, is pretty "straight" --even the supposedly "gay" mainstream porn is still labeled "All Male", 90% of the time, and conforms to heteronormative ideas of masculinity, playing more to 'gay fantasies" about male-male sex than portraying a realistic take on male-male / gay sex. Unfortunately, due to the currently-unshakable associations with the lesbian and bisexual women communities, male-male sex is less than 5% of the content on most "queer porn" sites (and that's myself being extremely generous), and most of what does exist features at least one FTM / trans man.
If you prefer the silicone-free look, and like to watch sexy videos and pictures of perfectly ordinary-looking trans women, as their transition progresses, you could check out some of the queer stuff, but like I said, it's largely lesbian-oriented, and cos of politics, trans women, even those with a strong lesbian identity, are a bit of a minority in that community. And because it's a politically-minded community, I suggest reading the various blogs and fora for at least a year before participating, even if you've bought all the videos and have subscribed to a few sites --respect and dignity are a big thing in that community, and so is women, trans or otherwise, standing their ground and being frank and direct to people who they feel have disrespected them. I've seen people get dogpiled because they were very new, and while they probably meant well, they mistakenly used an improper term *once*, even though the rest of what they said was otherwise respectful and gender-affirming; I think there might've also been a few incidences of a language or cultural barrier that the Western Trans people (both women and men) just were not groking, as a couple people tried to explain themselves.
