Me and Stoya
When I was in NYC in Nov. for my performance at the BOX and the Fleshbot awards, My friend Ellen Stagg and Fleshbot set up a photo shoot with the amazing Stoya. We had been talking about it for a while via Twitter but I was not really sure if it would ever happen. One because she is a super huge mainstream porn star and two because girls are scared of me:) But it happened!! Stoya is so fucking cool.
This is what we did and I think it fucking rocks! You can see all the rest of the photos on Fleshbot
WOOF!!! Buck
Transgender Day Of Remembrance 2011: 20 Trans Pioneers
This is pretty cool. Huffington Post put together a list of 20 trans people they feel are pioneers. I was pretty shocked when i made the list, because I have always been left out of so many of these more mainstream lists because of my adult work. I don’t need to tell you why do I ? So when I saw this I was really surprised to say the least. It made me feel so proud that I have finally been recognized for my work. I know it’s only the Huffington Post but if you know how hard I have been fighting to get some acceptance past the adult world I think you would get it.
So here is the list with all super great people. I know they left some people off who I think should have been on but I am sure putting a list together of only 20 is not easy.
Transgender Day Of Remembrance 2011: 20 Trans Pioneers
Transgender Day of Remembrance
Today we remember all the trans people who have lost their lives from hate, intolerance and prejudice. Because I believe people need education on this, they don’t understand how we can feel this way. Many people think it is unnatural and that we are playing “GOD”. If they really took the time to understand that this is not something we wished upon ourselves or that it is something that we control. It is what it is. If you can look at someone like me who was so hateful towards myself and others before I decided to go through transition,then maybe you can see how this is a positive thing not a negative thing.
If you know anyone who needs to be educated on this subject please take the time to do it.
You’ve shown me that being a man is the matter of how you feel INSIDE
I have been posting all these amazing emails I have been getting lately on my tumblr page because for some reason that is a haven for trans hatred. Strange how communities eat their own. I wish they would understand that we all have different ways of looking at things and doing things. We are individuals first. There are many who just want to see me fail for whatever reason or agenda they have. It is just human nature I think. I have thought of just deleting my tumblr account but then why? I think it is better to fight the hate with love. So now I am posting the many positive letters I receive everyday from all over the world. Love Love Love!!
WOOF!

Hi Buck! I’m a transgender from Russia. Actually I’m not a transman I’ve got a female body but I feel like a man. Like a real man. And you know why? Because of YOU! When I learned about you I was dramatically impressed. YOU have changed my whole life! Earlier I used to be upset about my body I felt I can’t be a real man… And only when I’ve learned about you did I realize that it’s not the matter of having a cock. You’ve shown me that being a man is the matter of how you feel INSIDE. I would feel pretty uneasy wearing male clothes and acting like man because I thought everybody looked at me. And now it’s different. Now I don’t feel awkward wearing men’s clothes. Why? Damn because I AM a man and I know that! And now my life is completely different. After having learned you I started LOVING myself and my body! I don’t give a damn about the others think about me. I feel so confident and strong now. I am HAPPY. And that’s because of you being my pattern. THANK YOU.
Sincerely yours
Thanks so much for the email. I am so proud of you that you have taken control of your life. You will be amazed at how empowering yourself like that will change everything. It is not an easy thing to do but when you make up your mind to stop feeling like a victim and realize that you make life what it is then everything changes. I realize that not everyone is always in a great position to do things but by changing your mental attitude first, everything comes after.
Also thank you for letting my work inspire you that means tons to me.
Good luck on your journey my friend.
WOOF!!
