Transexual Man - Buck Angel FTM Pornstar

Where does one start with an email like this!? Honestly I am somewhat in shock and don't quite know where i even found information about you on the internet at all! To start, about myself, I am a straight female who was lucky enough to be born with the body i would have chose for myself (as in female born female). I acctually don't exactly "frown" at the porn industry, except that I don't believe a person in a relationship should feel the need for it. Maybe i should say if I myself am in a happy and sexually fulfilling relationship I myself do not even like looking at other people and am not sexually stimulated by anyone but my partner, and believe i should be more than enough for my partner also.... and so don't like porn if i find my partner in a lie to me after they said they agree with the "no porn rule".

Ok maybe I'm rambling. Porn is for some not for all, and I can be conflicted by my feelings towards it. What my whole point in emailing you was that i acctually think its quite an amazing accomplishment you have made. I would never enjoy the work you're doing for myself, sexually it would turn me off honestly, but you are the first man with a vagina to be famous enough that even a straight woman who doesn't look at porn has found out about you! I think that even if some people see moral issues involved in this, you're only trying to bring enjoyment to people, and recognition that men CAN exist even if they lack a penis or were even born without one or in your case born with a vagina! The fact that you are also an american, maybe you can effect a change in that sometimes closeminded country in their views on who is male or female (such as how some states require removal of female sex organs which is in my opinion close to torture at this time for some persons who wish to be recognized as male.... at least until the technology is greatly improved).

Again just good job on what you're doing, and most especially in that you are making yourself happy. It might not mean alot from some random stranger, but maybe just the fact that i am a female born female, totally straight (even if i wanted to be lesbian to make things easier im very much not attracted to females), and raised in a not always open minded part of the world (Southern Ontario Canada), maybe this fact might be a nice little boost to your ego that people who chose completely different lifestyles than you can see the good in what you are doing. I hope it helps since i have seen how people who chose the same lifestyle as you may nay-say.

I'd love to get a reply from you if at all possible. If not im just hopeful you acctually read this and at least sends positive feelings.

Best of luck in all your future

Hey, Buck,


I saw a bit about you on the TransitionalMale site, and I wasn't really happy with some of the negative comments you were getting. I thought they were really unfair. I decided to visit your site and learn more, and while I can't really say I'm a fan of your work (just not my sort of thing), I want to say that I am a fan of yours. I think that you've got a lot of guts to be doing what you're doing and leaving yourself open to criticism like you are. But I agree with you that there never has been anyone out there representing us and our sexuality the way you do. I watched your Q&A on your site today, and I think you really summed it up perfectly when you said it's not just about what's between your legs. I think that what you're doing is going to help show other ftms (and non-trans people, too) the same thing, and that can't be anything but helpful. Don't listen to anyone who tells you different.

Just returned from a month on the road. That was super intense. First I performed and showed a film a made exclusivly for the Edmonton Queer Arts Fest. called “THE BEST OF BUCK” Everyone loved it and I got 2 standing ovations. I was so nervous to watch how people reacted a just stood outside the filming. Then after I was called onstage to talk and answer questions about my work. that was fun as I really enjoying speaking to people.

The next day I was doing a live modeling show for artists. That was a blast and I had someone film that so I got some great footage for my reality show on buckangel.com.

Then I performed at steamworks where I did a live show and had a great write up on the show here on xtra.ca
But before the show Jackson who was one of the organizers of the show is also a photographer asked me to shot some photos with him. So of course I was excited( we have actually been trying to get that going for a while) I love the way they came out. I will be posting some later but here is a shot from behind the scenes.

From Edmonton I flew back to Mexico for one night to change my bags then off to Los Angeles to shoot for a new show on Spike TV.I was super excited as this was my first really mainstream tv show. I have been trying to get people to give me more of a chance on tv in the USA but they are so closed minded when it comes to a pornstar.

After that I was shooting for a new HBO show about the sex industry and then I did a 3 hour long interview with my buddy and co-author for my book Shaun Proulx. We shot at his hotel in west hollywood. Read the whole story on Shaun’s blog here.

Finally I got to meet for breakfast with my great friend Selene Luna. She just bought a new car, a mini!! She looks so hot driving it.

Then the next day I did a DVD signing at the Dyke bar Palms in WEHO. There is a club called Strapped there. loved meeting all my gay lady friends and spending time with them It’s so great to see my female fan base grow.

Ok this was probably the freakiest part of the trip..I got an email from Tyra banks Show and they asked me to fly to NYC for the show. I was already scheduled for a show the next night so I had to fly the redeye that night and do the show that next day to be wisked back to the airport to get my butt to Austin Young’s show downtown called BEYOND DRAG. I actually did it! But I am paying the price now. I am so exhausted. that is really hard on the body! I will talk more about the show later, But it airs in Feb.

Then the next day I was off to SF where I did a DVD signing at my friend Paul King’s tattoo shop Cold Steel on Haight street. I had a really great turn out. Amazing people came to see me.

Finally I am home and now resting up for my next trip which will be the Athens, Greece Porn Film Festival.

Oh one last thing! My friend Tristan Taormino mentioned me in one of her new interviews in Fleshbot. Check out the interview on her it’s great and see what she said.

WOOF!!

Well last week I was in Edmonton for the Exposure Festival. It was a amazing to say the least. The film I put together for the venue was so well recieved it got two standing ovations. I was blown away.

You know when you are editing a piece for a festival you are always nervous how it will be perceived and so I had to walk away from it becauseI just kept editing it more and more.
