Buck Angel | Transgender Man

Even before receiving the 2007 AVN Award as Transsexual Performer of the Year has always been vocal about LGBT rights, but this has intensified after he underwent gender reassignment that year. He is now an advocate, a writer, and an educator, with most of his work focused on LGBT advocacy. Angle also sat on the Board of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation from 2010 to 2016. This foundation works to affirm gender freedom and choice as fundamental human rights.

His work in the movie industry has inspired many and has used that medium to inspire others, especially the transgender community. In 2010, he even had the chance to talk at Canada’s Ideacity, where he had the opportunity to talk about the physical and emotional changes he experienced from his transition. One thing is clear; Angel has shown a great degree of dedication to advocating for the rights of the LGBT community.
