To Buck: a letter of appriciation
August 30th, 2010 | 
Author: Lately I have been getting more and more of these kinds of emails. It really makes me so happy that I could be such a positive influence to people. I really feel this strength and power in my message grow everyday. I am sharing this one with you that I received today.
Dear Buck,
I just wanted to say that first off, you’re an amazing person. I’ve known about you for several years now, but only recently did I decide to look up your Wiki and watch some of your videos on Youtube. I want to say: THANK YOU. Thank you for doing what you do – for being so tremendously brave and intelligent and compassionate.
I am a 24 year old trans man from Texas. I was finally able to begin medical transition 5 months ago. My whole life, I was upset by my sexuality. Ever since I was a kid I hated what was “down there” but could never explain why. I never touched myself there without being covered up and mostly I pretended I would someday grow a penis. This was how I got by for the longest time.
Then I came across you. Hearing your inspirational words, and hearing you talk about how you love your body, was like some kind of divine revelation to me. It was the first time I had ever come across someone so loving towards themselves. I come from feminist circles, and they’re always talking about self-love, but you hardly ever see that kind of thinking actually being realized. Here is a trans man, totally at ease with his body! It made me really begin to look deeply into my heart. I actively began to try and love my body more.
Then T started doing crazy things to me, and my sex drive went through the roof (and still is!) Suddenly I began to feel compelled to explore my body lovingly, and for the first time in my life, I am actually at peace with not having a penis. It feels so ironic, that now I am in transition, I am more comfortable with what I “lack” than ever before!
I’m sorry this is turning into a long letter. Buck, thank you. Thank you for helping me be brave, and giving me self-confidence. You also helped me see that when I transition, people will still find me attractive. (I had a crippling fear that nobody would ever want to sleep with me after transition, and I know this is bologna now!) Thank you also for your PSA messages. I had unfortunately been putting off getting gynecological check ups for a while due to dysphoria, but you gave me a little push and now I’m getting an appointment set up.
Thank you for everything Buck. You are an amazing guy and you give people like me hope everyday.
Sending you lots of love and admiration,

Erotica New Zealand 2010
WOW! Just returned from a 3 week trip that started in Los Angeles. I was filming some of my documentary there, Then headed to New Orleans for 10 days of shooting my wife Elayne Angel doing piercing at Nola Tattoo and doing a talk to the medical association there about her book The Piercing Bible. We also celebrated her birthday and we had a blast. I don’t talk much about my wife just because we like to keep our private life private but I just want to say one thing, I am a very lucky man!!
After New Orleans she went back to Mexico and I was off to Auckland New Zealand for the Erotica 2010. What a hell of a day or days I should say. I left New Orleans at 4 pm to get to LAX at 9pm. My flight to NZ was scheduled for 11:30pm so I ran to the VIP lounge to take a shower before that long 12 hour flight, Because I smelled so fucking bad. I swear this testosterone makes me smell like I have been playing football all day. I like the smell but believe me many people on the plane take offense and start spraying perfume..UGG I hat that shit.
So anyway after the shower I was taken to the plane to board. I was flying over there with Nina Hartley and Dana Dearmond. Two of the hottest chicks in porn. We basically all slept the whole way there. When i arrived I was scheduled for a TV show interview on News 3 Auckland. Later that day we just fucked off so we would not have jet lag because we had some serious work days coming up.
That next day Gina Lynn and Tory Lane showed up. Now there were 4 hot girls with me..WOOOF!!
The next day was wed. and we had Auckland Boobs On Bikes parade to do then Thursday Hamilton Boobs On Bikes to do. You can see the pics there. At the hamilton Boobs on Bikes we got harassed by the christians. They were telling us to “Get a real Job” haaa! Fuck don’t they know we have a real job and anyway why weren’t they at work??
Friday-Sunday was the show at the fairgrounds. What a trip that was. We signed all day for 12 hours a day. I did 2 shows a day as well as Tori Lane. It was so fucking funny as they had never seen anything like me before . I love to work the crowd by going in the audience and playing with them. Well most of these guys just took off when I came out there. They fucking ran from me. How weird. I am posting a small visual of my show here as well as the pics..
The show was great but let me tell you I was happy to get home after 3 weeks. Not sure where I am off to next but I have been contacted by Sydney Mardi Gras for Feb so lets hope that goes so I can get back to Auckland for some more fun.

“recently found out about Buck Angel”
This is what I woke up to on the morning of my presentation at IdeaCity10. I love how my Mayan Gods always put things in front of my face to show me I am right on track ! WOOF!! Buck
Dear Buck,
I have recently became aware of you via internet.I happen to be A 36 year old straight, single dad from Alabama.I have watched some of your you tube videos,and I have to say you sir, are A mans’ man! I would love to sit around and drink A beer with you and just listen to you talk. You are beyond A doubt,the most confident, positive,upbeat person that I have listened to.What you stand for is so much bigger than you and I both.You are A cultural icon.You are right when you says, it is not what is between your legs that defines you.I think if more people become aware of you,their closed minded thinking would be deterred.I have A 15 year old son that I would let watch and listen to you(non- pornagraphic material, of course,,,,,lol)I have always had confidence issues,and just watching some of your videos on you tube, have really made me feel better about me! You represent the very essence of manliness. I am A former Marine and can definately consider myself “manly”, but you have opened my eyes.It is not what is between our legs that defines us.That quote by yourself,is one of the most important quotes of our humanity.People are too busy trying to compartamentalize what society tells them is right,good looking, and true, and place into their tiny little box.They should instead,lay that box down,and jump up and down until it breaks!!Meaning more people should think outside the proverbial box,and you sir,are the man that is gonna make this happen.I feel touched by your message,and hope many thousands more are as well.
Bless you sir,for you are what is right with this world!!

Yale Visit and Thanks!!
This is an email I just received on my YouTube account about my Yale visit in the next day.It’s because of emails like this that it makes me so happy that I am going to speak. I often remember when I first started my work the ugly hate mail from the trans man community. So I just see how things have changed so much.
I will be posting daily from Yale( if I make it as it looks like the snow is shutting the east coast down)on my blog with pics!! Ok read the cool email below.
WOOF!!
Buck
Dear Buck,
I am a transguy at Yale. I wanted to say thank you for performing at Yale and tell you how excited I am that you are going to be educating my fellow students. I am a big fan of your work and have showed many friends your website to explain what a transperson after testosterone (and lots of hard work) looks like. I cannot tell you how excited I was to learn that you were coming to Yale!!! I also wanted to let you know how very grateful I am that you are willing to be so open about your sexuality and status as a transman. Your example has helped me to slowly come out to my family and friends and has helped me to see how beautiful my body can one day become.
However, I am very sorry about the comments you recently received from a Yale. I found it particularly disappointing and frustrating that a fellow student would write such hurtful things. Thankfully, those sorts of people are very much the minority at Yale. I am writing in part to let you know that there are many wonderful and accepting people at Yale that have made my college experience a very loving and caring one. I adore my friends and the queer community at Yale and I hope that you have a good time when you visit. Sadly, I will not be able to attend your event because I am abroad at the Yale in London program. I wish I could be there in person Otherwise, I would have been in the front row cheering. I wish I could be there in person, but I made my friends promise to go and give me a play by play of the event. Good luck next week!!!
Athens Porn Film Festival 2010
What an amazing trip I had to Athens Greece Porn Film Festival! They showed some really amazing films and you can see the list on their website pornfilmfestival.gr
The show that I performed in was also full of amazing talented people. I had such a blast performing with them all. Here are some really cool behind the scenes of the show photos from Lang who I meet while there. He is from the UK and hung out with me in my dressing room shooting pics.
- athens festival dressing room 1
There were tons of people at the show on Saturday night when I performed. I had no idea I had so many fans in Greece. I usually do about 500 push ups before I go on stage and do a little ritual of sweating and pumping as it makes me get horney for my show.
- Athens Show 2
My show was the last one after all the other hot sexy performers warmed up the crowd. I drank 3 red bulls which made me get a bit hyped and ready to work that crowd!
- Athens Show 3
Whe I went on stage to the song "SEX SECRET" The Greeks went crazy. I came out all dressed in my workout gear and slowly stripped to two hot songs. By the time I was fully naked I had them dancing in the aisles. One thing I love to do is play with the crowd specially when they are a bit timid. So I got them going and jumped into the audience to play with them! That is always so much fun. I had some help getting fucked by my dildo and that really got some screams. I have some great video footage that I can’t show public but will be adding to my members section on buckangel.com so check it out.
- Athens Show 4
I also did a TV show while there and we filmed at a tattoo shop. I will be talking about that in my next blog entry as I want to add some of that footage for you to see. I just got an email from the TV crew in Greece saying:" also your show on Greek TV was amazing, you really save so many people and gave courage. On Monday night I spent time with Fotis and we show all the emails they send to him after the show,
tears came on our eyes from people responds. It was amazing!!!!!!!!"
What a great time I had there in Athens.
WOOF!!

Buck Angel will be descending on the Yale University Campus February 13-14, 2010, to join some of the brightest minds on the planet for a Master’s Tea!
Sex Week At Yale 2010, an interdisciplinary sex education program designed to pique academia’s interest in sex, intimacy and relationships through interactive events, will be featuring Buck Angel as the keynote speaker of a Master’s Tea ("Buck Angel: Uncensored"), and as a headliner on a panel discussion on race and gender in the adult entertainment industry.
Buck Angel, the award-winning actor, activist, producer, and educator, who is also currently hosting his own weekly mega-hit show BUCKING THE SYSTEM (http://www.youtube.com/buckangelent), considers his upcoming participation in Sex Week At Yale to be a huge honor: "I was blown away when I received the call to be a part of this important event.

Sex Week At Yale 2010 is expected to be the most exciting, educational and mind-opening week yet, with Buck Angel
Edmonton Queer and Buck Angel
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.
Edmonton Queer Arts Fest
I had tons of great press while there as well. Here ar lots of links to the articles..
Just on last thing! Go to Edmonton if you ever have the chance. The people are amazing and a nice change of pace!!
WOOF!!
