To Buck: a letter of appriciation
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.

I had the pleasure of working with Drew DeVeaux for this new PSA on Trans Women health. Please pass it around as it is super important. She is very lovely and a very easy to work with. We just started rolling the camera and this is what we got.
Pride Toronto 2010
I just spent three weeks working in Toronto. I was asking to come speak at IdeaCity10 which I posted about in an earlier post and that was so awesome.
After IdeaCity 10 I stayed for two more weeks to do shows at SWITCH, St, Marcs Spa and Pride Stage. All the shows Kicked ass. Then I was asked to be on the Aids Committee Toronto ACT float in the Pride parade. That was so much fun. The float won best community float! I have to say it was such an honor being asked to be apart of that. Any AIDS related service I can do i am always there. My kid Rebekka Armstrong ( shes not by birth, I adopted her!) is HIV positive and is an amazing educator. Check her site out at Rebekkaonline.net
I also did tons of interviews and did some TV. Toronto is always good about promoting me. My good friend Shaun Proulx had a private party for the screening of the interview he did with me for OUT TV
So now better then writing I am posting lots of pics for you to see. Some from the new release UFC2/Tattooed and Screwed. Some are not that great and kinda blurry so sorry about that, But I think they are still cool and you get to see me getting ready for my show at SWITCH, In a dirty backroom..
WOOF!!

“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!!
Taschen,Out Tv, birthday, UFC 2
Damn sorry for such a long delay in posts. I am not making an excuse I have just been on the road non stop the last couple months. My trip to Helsinki as you can see from my last post kicked ass. Ashley and I blew them away. I met some super awesome new friends there too.
Ms. Diana Ball is so sexy and she spent time taking me all around Helsinki and even out to have a deer dinner. yep I said it I ate a deer. You know Santa Claus comes from Finland.I didn’t know that. This photo of us was taken in my dressing room.
Then the most awesome thing happened! The guys from the band ROCTUM showed up to my show waving a huge banner. It was so great! Then they left because they could not get backstage so I had the stage manager call them and they were at McDonald’s eating so they dropped their burgers and came back to see me backstage. They are the guys who made the “Buck Angel Song”
This last week OUT TV in Canada ran an exclusive one hour interview I did with one of my favorite guys and a true friend Shaun Proulx. It is pretty awesome and I am always scared how the outcome of these interviews will be. But I have to say I was pretty proud of this one. You can see a teaser here but try to catch the whole show if you can.
When I was in Los Angeles this last week I had the honor of shooting with Ed Fox for a new Taschen book that is coming out. I will not blow the surprise but it is gonna be so super I think it will shock you. Dian Hansen the editor is so cool. I have made a great new friend that’s for sure. She is so smart and really nice energy to be around. Ed is killer photographer as well. Things just keep getting better and better. I can’t believe how my life has changed sometimes.
I also finished shooting the final scenes for UFC2-tattooed and screwed. My next DVD. FUCK!! This is going to one of my best yet. The men are HOT and the scenes are so rocking. I got Greg York and Ian McQueen to fuck me at the Eagle in Los Angeles. The Eagle was so cool to let me shoot there. I think I am one of the few that has been allowed to do that. Sometimes I feel so special.
My birthday was this past weekend June 5th and I wanted to get home so I could be in my favorite place in the whole world! So I spent two days in my pool just relaxing and having sex! I smoked some great cigars too, The NUB is one of my new favorite smokes. Here I am with a couple of my kids
Well that’s it for now. I am off to Toronto next week to speak at IdeaCity10 then doing lots of stuff for gay pride. Check my calendar and facebook for all the info too.
WOOF!!
Helsinki and Buck
So after 4 planes to get here on Monday, I left on Sunday morning, I am in Helsinki in a really nice hotel with a great gym that always makes me super happy. I have been going on good interviews. The guys at Sexhibition have been doing a great job getting me press here. Tuesday I did Hustler Finland then X3M radio.
Here is the YouTube Video of the interview.
This is pretty funny! As I am walking around the city yesterday what do I see, My picture on the bus, no wait on like 10 buses for the Sexhibition show. I took a pic with my iphone because I did not have my camera with me. I was running to get the photo and people were looking at me like why is this guy chasing the bus to take a photo?
This morning I went to the radio station NRJ to do another interview. They were super funny and it was a great show. They taped it so I will post when they get it up.
Here is a gallery of all the pics I have taken so far:

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!!!
