Speaking at Master’s Tea at Yale

Buck's Life, Updates No Comments

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.

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.

Message of Tolerance

Buck's Life No Comments

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!

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.

Hi Buck!

I know you probs hear this everyday, but I thought id throw my thanks on the pile.

Pre-transition I wanted to transition very badly, but never thought i would. I thought that as a Transman i would have to get bottom surgery to be “real” and wouldn’t be able to give up likeing to ‘bottom’ every now and again.

When I finally stumbled across your site, I actually might have cried a little. Because I thought, here is someone who has actually done it. Has said this is what I am, fuck you if you don’t like it.
I don’t want to say I never would have started the transition process without seeing your site, but I think I would have started a lot later and been a lot more trepidatious about my future.

Thank you. really. Thank you for putting yourself out there. Your not only educating the world and re-defining gender, but your a lighthouse of sorts helping to guide the next generation of trans folk.
You rock. Thank you.

Days in Amsterdam

Fan Mail No Comments

Hi Buck

my name is Marco, I live in Amsterdam and work for an escort agency.

I saw Buck tonight on tv interviewed in a talk show called Jensen! I didn’t know Buck existed, I must admit it, but like many others, I was fascinated from the beginning.

No metaphysical explanation, I would just like to meet him, look into his eyes and french kiss him. Maybe take a picture with him. I didn’t make it to Wasteland as I was working. Did he perform there? It would have been a good way to see him and maybe get to talk to him.

Hereby I would like to ask you guys where you’ll be at in Amsterdam these days. I live here and would just love to get to see you for a minute before you get back to the US.

Hope you’ll have the time to let me know where you’ll be performing or staying.

Thanks a lot and all the best in Amsterdam.

Big kiss
Marco

Sirius Radio and Buck Angel

When I was in LA I got contacted by SIRIUS radio to go do a show with Jason Ellis. He really wanted me on his show but I honestly had no idea who he was but as you know I am kind of a media whore and as far as I can see all my crazy self promotion has payed off. I have to do this in order for people to see who I am who might have no idea about me.

So when I got to the studio in West Hollywood which was a far drive from where I was in Long Beach at the Outer Limits Tattoo Studio where Elayne Angel was guest piercing and selling here new book the Piercing Bible. I was ready to go! Funny I remember Jason just looking all crazy at me at first not really knowing how to deal with me..I love that. He was cool but you could see he was so confused. I think he thought I was going to have some kind of”girl” in me.

I sat down and we rapped a bit before the show started then the show starts and he introduces me and we talk about my change and he is just looking me over trying to figure out some part of my body or face or something that female but he can’t. Of course he does comment on my voice and says it sounds gay, Whiche everyone does. But other than that he is very impressed by my body. And believe me that is a huge compliment..Because he is a man’s man believe me!!

He ends up taking calls from some listners and everyone asks the usual questions but then some shmoe calls in telling him off for having me on the show and that I am a fag and so on and anyway Jason is so cool he just tells the guy to get a grip and disconnects him. Then the producer on the break tell sme tons of guys emailed in to defend me. WOW I am telling you that tyhis is so cool and I really think that by putting myself out there these guys get to see that I am just a normal guy like them. Awesome.

Here is a great photo of us and under is what he added on his blog! So cool!!
