My Chat with a Transgender Porn Star

by: Private Dancer
I wouldn’t describe Buck Angel’s transgender, ‘man with pussy’ pornography as my thing.

No, definitely not.

In fact, it really is probably the last thing I’d turn on to get horny, BUT I do applaud his tenacity and spirit to open the world’s eyes to people who are different and make it known that it doesn’t matter what parts you were born with, the colour of your skin or your peculiar deformities – we are all human, and most of us like to fuck and feel good about our bodies. And hell, just because it’s not my thing – doesn’t mean there aren’t a million people out there that appreciate a gay man screwing pussy on a man who was a woman technically, but then became a man. Yes complicated, but isn’t it all just dick in a box?

As a child, Buck was born with a vagina but always knew he was male. Although, I wouldn’t wish this sexually confusing situation on anyone, it does happen to many boys and girls and it takes a strong willed individual and some open minded and caring parents to handle smoothly.

As a young boy, Buck played with boys and acted with male tendencies. Life wasn’t too trying as – aside from one’s private parts – children are very interchangeable when it comes to play and fitting in.

Hitting puberty was a different story. At around 13-14, Buck started to change, and as he described, began to look like a ‘big weird dyke daughter’. As such, his parents began to condition him as a female, not to dismiss his gender but to ease him into society with the least complications.

Buck didn’t look like most feminine young lady and was constantly at war about who he was, or what he was supposed to be. This confusion and stress led to heavy drug and alcohol abuse, suicidal thoughts and finally a realization that perhaps he was meant to be a man.

And you thought getting your period was traumatic? Sheesh.

He explains that it was very difficult to even find a doctor or expert that could handle his condition but eventually he was able to get some aid in the form of testosterone treatments.

As soon as Buck began the transformation, he immediately felt more comfortable within his skin, even though enormous changes were happening quickly. He explains the in-between stages as ‘morphic’: “I looked weirder, my head grew, jaw size increased, I began losing hair and gaining a lot of body weight.” Buck quickly jumped from 110lbs to his current weight of 170.

I would describe the way Buck looks now as a sort of tough Hells Angels biker dude. He’s strong, unquestionably male but in the nude, it is apparent that one thing is still very different – and that is that he has a vagina.

Recognizing that there is a niche for everything, and being a sexually explorative individual, Buck began his journey as the first ever transgender male porn star.

Although he is married to a woman, his pornography is predominantly homosexual. Slightly perplexed, I ask him who his audience is? Although he admits it is majority gay men, the female audience is growing fast. This trend pleases him.

I can’t help but ask him what the gay men think of fucking his pussy, I mean – don’t gay men think there is nothing more awful in the world then giving head or thrusting into a vagina? Apparently not. For me, this was probably the most illuminating discovery of our conversation. Buck exclaims with enthusiasm, “99% of the men are like WOW, that was the most amazing thing I ever did”. Further, he goes on to talk about how – after all, the pussy was made to make a cock feel good. Hmm….yes…quite right.

Just five years ago, pornography laws in the United States were far more strict, and feeling insecure with legal authorities, Buck fled to Mexico – where he currently abides.

Although watching his porn you would think he is somewhat of an animalistic sex fiend fetish maniac, speaking with him on the phone, he seemed like a gentle and spiritual individual who is grounded, calm and happy with his incredibly unique lifestyle.

He’s been through a lot and beyond the porn, likes to share his stories to advocate acceptance amongst those who are different.

When he’s not having mad sex romps with studs, or making love to his wife – Buck likes to work out and enjoy the Mayan ruins that surrounds his Yucatan coast home.

If he wasn’t the world’s first transgender male porn star, he’d probably love to have a mechanic shop targeted at women. He’s a car nut, and knows how many of us feel completely out of sorts and scammed dealing with mechanics.

Although I very much enjoyed my chat with Buck, I still don’t think his porn is for me – but I would have loved to sit on a warm Mexico beach and continue our discussion for a long time; a remarkable man and an exceptionally interesting life.
