Buck Angel, World-Renowned Motivational Speaker, Pioneering Filmmaker and Human Right Activist

Buck Angel (born June 5, 1962) is an American Adult film actor, producer, sex educator, and motivational speaker. He is the founder of the media production company Buck Angel Entertainment. A transsexual man, he received the 2007 AVAN Award as Transsexual Performer of the Year; he now works as an advocate, educator, lecturer, and writer. Angel served on the Board of Directors of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation from 2010 to 2016; the foundation works to affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right through advocacy and education. Angel's pornographic content was one of the building blocks that set the foundation for his future educational demonstrations. He broadened the industry's, along with its viewers', perception of sexuality and gender by popularizing trans male porn. He was unaware of the positive effects that he had on the community until after a few years into his work. With passing time, his work in porn evolved into advocacy.

Angel wanted individuals to:

1. "Comprehend the fact that one's genitals do not define your gender, nor who you are as a person."
2. "Learn how to acknowledge, affirm, and deal with your own individual gender and sexuality, regardless of identity."
3. "Have the ability to let go of social constructs in order to become more comfortable and self-accepting."
