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,

Getting tattooed at Nola Tattoo
Whoever says that getting tattooed does not hurt is full of it. It hurts! But my tattoo artist buddy Walt Clark is one of my favorite’s to get tattooed by because he is fast! I have been wanting to cover up a tattoo for a while but just never had time and never in New Orleans. So since I was here it was time. Here is the gallery of the tattoo time.
WOOF!!
Buck Angel’s Trans Women Prostate PSA
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!!

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!!

Message of Tolerance
Today I received this email and wanted to share..
Buck,
I stumbled on your website through a random chain of procrastination related web surfing. I’m sure you get supportive emails all the time from trans folks, but I thought I’d take a moment to let you know that there are us run-of-the-mill “breeders” :-p out there that support you and love what you’re doing. You have more balls than most men I know for putting yourself completely out there and educating people and promoting tolerance. Whether you realize it or not, and whether or not the results are immediately clear or may never be evident to you; you’re planting seeds of tolerance in people’s minds and hearts and you have my utmost respect and pride for that. Keep on keepin on!

I Love Smitten Kitten!
Last year I had the pleasure of going to Minn. to the shop Smitten Kitten. Everyone there was so amazing and really took great care of me. I don’t post enough about them and how wonderful the shop is.
Today I ran across a cool blog post about my work and also my trip to Yale on the Smitten Kitten blog. When you read it you will see what I am saying about them. Please if you are in the market for some new sex toys or stuff please support Smitten Kitten as they are a small family run shop and these kind of shops are super important. They are community active and just super great people!
WOOF!
Buck
