Today I got an amazing email!!

Dear, Buck

You’ve been such an inspiration to my son who is also a female to male transexual. It would mean so much to me if you could send an autographed photograph to:

XXX

He has been such a struggle, it has costed so much money to make him happy and sometimes there was lots of doubt wether this was the right decision but you, buck was always there for him and has been a major impact on his life. Thanks for everything you’ve done for us. I hope you can get back to us soon, because it would mean so much.

Yours Truely,
(Mother of Kristian)

My trip to speak at YALE was so great. The minute I got there the girls from SWAY (SEX WEEK AT YALE) had a car waiting for me at the airport to take to 2 hour drive to CT. Once there the girls met me at the school to show me my private room on campus at the Masters College. Already I was feeling like a king.

It was freezing and thank god I had just bought a new down jkt. Amazing the gym was right next to my room and was fully equiped to give me a killer workout. I was a bit nervous as I was speaking at the Master’s house in front of students and professors.

So after finally having a couple days to rest and feel grounded. It was time to do my talk. Before the talk Master G had me over for a lunch with him and some of the students.I had been getting some threats on my visit to YALE so just to be on the safe side the school had police outside of every event. I just could not believe how I effect people so much they go as far as to threaten me!

After that it was time for the talk and as I walked from the dining room into the living room where it was jammed packed with not one bit of walking room. WOW I was so overwhelmed.

I sat down in front of the students and Master G and I were seated in front in chairs facing everyone. It was basically a very informal story telling time. All eyes on me no time to get shy!!

My talk started with a thank you to Master G and the fellow students for having me at Yale to speak as I was very honored to be there. I had not graduated high school so in all my wildest dreams I would have never thought I would be speaking at Yale.

Speaking at Master's Tea

After the thanks I started with talking about my childhood and how it was not a bad one and that it is important for people to know that I did not come from a bad childhood and thus that is not why I do what I do or who I am. Then I basically went through my whole life story, My drug addiction, suicide attempts, self hatred into becoming the man I am. I think I really made such an impact on people at the talk. They were so attentive and just so interested in my story it was so powerful for me!

Then I showed and episode of BUCKING THE SYSTEM and after opened it up to Q&A. Got all amazing questions from everyone. Then after had people lined up to take pics with me and say thank you.

Later that night I was on a Sex Panel with all the hottest women in porn! Joanna Angel, Tristan Taramino, Madison Young and Sasha Grey. It was moderated by my good friend and editor of Fleshbot Lux Alptrum. The panel discussion was centered around our work and how we are breaking down the norms of waht people think are porn and sexuality and gender. Great panel.

What an amazing life I have:)

Check out some of the other posts made about my trip to YALE. Not everyone thought it was a good idea! But that was why it was so powerful for me to speak there. I have broken down some of the walls and hatred that people have around people like me.

First in a series of Body Building videos for my new website buckangelbodybuilding.com. In this video I talk about the importance of good food and pre-workout eating. I show you one of my favorite workout foods. Breakfast Protein Oatmeal.

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.

I had tons of great press while there as well. Here ar lots of links to the articles..

This is such a funny video. I loved shooting over 4 years ago and it never gets old! Bizarre magazine ROCKS!

Smitten Kitten in Minn. invited me to celebrate with them for their 6th bday! They were the very first store in the USA to have the balls to carry my very first DVD. After that we formed a great relationship. They started around the same time that i did and we have seen each other grow leaps and bounds.

My trip started with an early flight from Mexico to be picked up by Clare at the airport. That is always cool when you don’t have to take a cab. Then off to eat and check into my hotel. I rested for about an hour then she picked me up for my first night at the Kitten. I did a talk about my life in the porn business, How I started and some of my background. Then I opened it up to a Q & A. I had a packed house which is always nice. They really support my work there and you can feel it by the great energy people gave off. These are pics from that first night at the shop.

The Crowd

The next night I did a DVD signing for my new release ULTIMATE FUCKING CLUB it was the world premiere of the film and we showed it while everyone just mingled. I signed lots of DVDs and posters.

My Stuff!

Clare and Alison THE BEST!!

Now I am on day three and non stop between going to the gym with Clare everyday. She was so nice to pick me up and take me. I freak out if I miss the gym..So now it’s saturday night and I have to do my BDSM performance. I had two really great guys show up to perform with me and we practiced only the day of but we all had great energy together it worked out.

Please support my friends at Smitten Kitten

WOOF!!

My trip to NYC is always fun. I love the city because it is so different than where I live in mexico and the people of NY are always so good to me. I flew in on thursday to perform at the BOX. I was in Los Angeles before to do some business and see family. I also started to do CrossFit. It’s this new way of working out that is pretty amazing. I love going to the gym to pump weights but feel like I needed something new as my body is stuck and not really changing like I would like. So now I am fixing up my gym here to do more CrossFit along with my Yoga.

Saturday night before Gay Pride Sunday I did a couple hours hosting of open bar at the FWORD club in NYC. Formika and Jasper James were the hosts. I had such a great time and lots of fans came to see me. The one thing that I really loved was to see how diverse my fan base is becoming. There were all these girls who were so excited to see me and take photos with me.

Jasper James,Me and Formika

Lux from Fleshbot came to see me and so did my friend Andi and Caleb. It was great to hang out with them. After I took Lux with me to my performance at the BOX.

Me and Lux from Fleshbot

Andi is a very old friend of mine and she is also the lead singer for the punkrock band Snap-Her. Her music is on my film V for Vagina. She rocks!!

Caleb, me and Andi

My buddies James P and Bryan who DJ in NYC love wearing my shirt to spin in. They sent me this photo of them spinning on saturday night. I love this T-shirt. Check out my shop to purchase it.

Bryan and James P

This artist in NYC sent me this painting he did of me minus my tattoos. It’s cool but I do like my body better with tattoos. What about you?

Buck Angel art!

So now I am back home in Mexico working on my next trip. I will be going to Smitten Kitten in Minn. to do a workshop and DVD signing. They are working on getting me a performance in a club as well. Looks like I have a pretty big fan base there. Who knew?? That is awesome.

I have also just been contacted by some Gay party promoters in Barcelona Spain to perform August 1. That sounds amazing as I have never been to Barcelona.

WOOF!!

Ok I know that not everyone in the world loves what I do. I would be an idiot to think otherwise. But when and article is written about the trans community and how there is this absence of trans men in porn and the article features only a photo of me( which they never asked to use) and also blurbs from everyone but me I find this a bit strange.

So I made a comment on the site about why I felt there was an absence of trans men in porn.
Well then I get these comments about me that are quite funny and a bit on the fucked up side. You know it is always on these boards that these people write shit about me, they never have the balls to either email me or confront me in person and that really pisses me off. But I guess when your a pioneer you are always going to have people jealous of your achievements. And this is what it looks like to me. Here are the comments..
Also, Buck’s classist “bootstraps!!!” attitude toward the trans male community has reached epically comical proportions. Dude is a self-parody.
Hear hear! I admit, being a Trans man myself, I was interested in Buck Angel when I first heard of him, but what I’ve seen from him –both in jpeg and in attitude– is something I’d rather not associate with. You’re right, his “bootstraps!!!” attitude is totally classist (easy to say that when you’re already sitting on a modest fortune), and in all honesty, I’m just not into his whole Bear-aesthetic, either. He’s a parody of what a hint of extra testosterone “will do to ya’”. I can’t take him seriously, not even as an adult entertainer.

Now what makes people think I am sitting on a modest fortune? And if I am then it is all from my own hard work, Why is this a bad thing? You see why I get such a bad taste in my mouth from the “ftm Community” Jesus people I do more for your community than you can even imagine and not because I want anything but because I feel like doing community service is part of being a good pioneer. Fuck maybe I will just start donating my time and money to some other org.

Please take a minute to read the article and comment if you like.

Buck Angel Attitude!

This morning I received this really cool email from a man in Finland. It makes my day when I get emails like this because I see how my work is changing the way people feel about people like me or people who are just different…read on. Oh and watch the video below after you read. WOOF!! Buck

Hi Buck!
I have to admit that you seem to be a very cool guy. Would love to take a beer or two with you really. I just watched your interview (The netherland-one on Jensen Show), and you seem to be a very humorous and cool person. I did really have somekind of prejudice towards you when I first heard about you, and these alkind of questions arised in me: “Why? Who is “THAT”? What was the reason? What does IT sound like?” and so forward. I didn’t seem to look you like a normal person, but as somekind of object, thinkin you as IT like some Frankestein monster. And I admit I was totally wrong. It is hard to admit stuff like that as an adult man, but I still did it.

You have affected my view about world quite much; There are different people, and different persons. You are just one among us, and I consider you as “Cool guy”. Prejudice is always bad, and you have proved my perjudicions once again wrong. You are a cool person, open-minded and as Jensen said, HAPPY PERSON!

Good luck be with you with everything you do. I am not myself into porn-industry itself, nor porn, but I appreciate what you do! For example you said in Jensen show; “70 000 dollars is a lot of money!”, it’s not what you usually hear from rich person! I mean man, you are cool. Keep it, keep it living, you are one of the people affecting our current culture, even in “underground-scene”, that porn still is to some people.

With apprecation,

- from Finland.
