FTM Seeking Advice

So today I received this email from a young FTM. In the wake of all these gay suicides it really makes me feel that I am doing a good service. It is strange in one respect, That I started out just by making my adult films. That I was focused on making something sexy. Showing another side of sexuality in the adult entertainment world. I never in a million years would think that I would be the one that a younger generation would be coming to for advice. Advice on how I became so ok with myself. I have to tell you that it feels so amazing to be able to be in this position to maybe help to stop this crazy suicide stuff that is happening. It really makes me so mad and so sad. That shit was going on when I was going to school a million years ago. The fact that is still happens is not ok.

We need to do something!! We need to fight harder. I for one am determined to make a difference. Just watch me!

Here is the email I received this morning:

Dear buck,

I am writing to you in hopes that you could possibly help me. I am some one who looks up to you and is inspired to see who you are and intereseted in your journey to getting there. My name is XXXX, but I go by B. I am 23 year old and I am transgenderd, FTM as well. I have been seeking guidance and some one to relate to for my entire life. I currently have only had the chance to meet one other transgendered person my entire life...I understand that youre busy, but maybe if you had some free time one day you could call me, or if you are ever in the chicagoland area maybe to meet. I would really want to know how you got the confidence to be who are you are and to be proud. I've been struggling with how how I can experience who I am, I'm losing the battle terribly and aqm becoming hopeless. I feel like no one understands me, and no one relates to my everyday experienec...and I don't understand how to come to a solution...youre an inspiration to eveyone in the transgender community. Thank you so much for showing me that it is possible to be who you are. Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

with love,

Hello from FTM UK

Hi Buck,
For a while now, I've been thinking about emailing you but I know how busy you are. But today I thought fuck it! Better off out my system and to share my story. Please don't worry, it's a good email :)
I have always admired you as a person. You do so much for people who are transgendered, who are gay/lesbian/bisexual and also for other charities and causes. A bit about myself. I'm 24, living in Brighton, UK. My dad is gay and I've known this since I was 12. Even though my parents are no longer together, they are still the best of friends and they are actually closer now then they were when they were still living together. My dad isn't open about his sexuality as his side of the family disagree with it and no one in his side of the family know. Yet now, he introduces his friends to my mum and my mum loves that! Myself and my sister have always been raised and told to accept people as their are, not what their are. And I still believe that. Especially now that I love in Brighton, which is known as UK's gay capital, I have met so many great and wonderful people and that's why I love Brighton (if you haven't been here, you definitely should in your next UK trip! You would love it and you will be greatly welcomed!).
My point in sharing my story and wanting to email you is to thank you personally for what you have done and continue to do. I have watched your films and some of them are quite naughty ;) I love all of your work - whether it's your films, photoshoots, media and press but also what you do for human rights and also animal rights. Not many people do that as a whole and you do such a great job of it.
Again, I hope you don't mind me emailing you as I know you're a busy man but like I said, I've always wanted to email you at some point and today is the day.
Thanks for everything you do darling.
Much love,

Back from performing at Wasteland in Amsterdam, Got beat up by security, my plane was delayed because of the volcano eruption but all in all I had a fabulous time. Made many new friends and rocked the house. So enjoy all the photos from the show..

FTM to FTM

Hey, Buck,


I saw a bit about you on the TransitionalMale site, and I wasn't really happy with some of the negative comments you were getting. I thought they were really unfair. I decided to visit your site and learn more, and while I can't really say I'm a fan of your work (just not my sort of thing), I want to say that I am a fan of yours. I think that you've got a lot of guts to be doing what you're doing and leaving yourself open to criticism like you are. But I agree with you that there never has been anyone out there representing us and our sexuality the way you do. I watched your Q&A on your site today, and I think you really summed it up perfectly when you said it's not just about what's between your legs. I think that what you're doing is going to help show other ftms (and non-trans people, too) the same thing, and that can't be anything but helpful. Don't listen to anyone who tells you different.

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!

Happy New Year!!

Wow I can’t believe it’s 2010. What a total trip. I have a great feeling about this year. Already so much happening for me it’s crazy. I am booked all the way to May.

So this year I have been nominated for both the AVN awards and the XBIZ awards. Both have nominated my film ULTIMATE FUCKING CLUB for Best Transsexual Release and I have been nominated for Transsexual Performer of the Year. See this year is already kicking ass.

Looking forward to a killer year and thanks to all of you for supporting me through out the years to help me get where I am!! WOOF!!
