All in Interviews
In this final installment of our interview with Buck Angel, we talk with him about his gender transition, finding support and his new DVD Sexing The Traans Man.
Here we are with the second portion of our interview with Buck Angel. In this one we talk about to Buck about his ideas of masculinity, fetishization and gender non-conformity as a child.
Being the only transgendered male porn star has put Buck in a unique position. One that he openly recognizes and uses to help educate. I contacted Buck to see if he'd be willing to talk with us and to my surprise he immediately said yes. This is the first part of that resulting conversation. Watch to see Buck's perspective on his career, his education and his vagina.
The most offensive thing you can do to a trans person is to assume that you know their situation better than they do. Most transgendered people would rather educate than have you assume. A lot of us want to share our stories and our experiences.
Growing up I was a tomboy. I remember telling my mom, as a little kid, that I was a boy. My mom then told me that if I kept telling people that, they would forcibly institutionalize me. She has a flair for the dramatic. I kept thinking that way until I saw a therapist when I was 18.
[Laughs] What difficulties haven’t I faced? I tried to have my name changed because of my gender preferences. The judge called me an “it.” He refused to talk to my lawyer and told me that, “people like you don’t deserve equal treatment.” He then sent me out of the court.
I think it’s about time that we realize that even though we may have rabid compulsions to prevent this behavior, we cannot. If we do then we are just as bad as those who seek to prevent homosexuals from getting married or women from getting abortions. Unless we are willing to rid ourselves of all choice, we mustn’t remove anyone else from any choice. We must live and let live.
We continue our chat with porn pariah Paul Morris. If you didn't read part 1 of our interview with Paul Morris of Treasure Island Media, you can check it out here.
Porn is and will always be a hot button issue. In today’s porn world, there is no greater lightning rod than Paul Morris and his porn production company, Treasure Island Media. Morris has built a small empire on the backs, and cocks, thousands of willing men, an empire which shows no sign of recession. In fact, Treasure Island Media is currently enjoying near obscene levels of success, despite the overall downturn of the porn industry during the past decade.
The great success of Treasure Island Media and Paul Morris is underscored and, arguably, bolstered by their well-deserved rebel status in the porn community. To be honest “rebel” is a bit too sexy of a title; leper is definitely a more accurate adjective. Paul Morris and Treasure Island Media are vilified in boardrooms and press rooms for their choice to shoot exclusively condomless porn. Some have called him the “shepherd of slaughter” and a “murderer” for his fetishization of not only so-called “bareback” sex, but also his laissez faire approach to HIV.
With all the drama surrounding Paul Morris and Treasure Island Media, it is hard to get a handle on the real story. So, over the course of four months Paul and Me corresponded, what follows is the result. If you thought that you knew Paul Morris, if you thought that you knew Treasure Island Media, if you thought that you knew porn, it may be time to re-evaluate that hypothesis.
After reviewing Marty Beckerman's debut novel Generation S.L.U.T. I was left with more than a few questions. I decided to sit down with the author to get his thoughts on the book. I caught up with Beckerman as we round upon the 7th anniversary of Generation S.L.U.T.'s publication. A lot can change in seven years. Let's see how the soon-to-be wed author, feels about the book that got his career started.
