Buck Angel wins AVN “Best Transsexual Performer”.
In a shock turn of events, crowd favourite Danielle Foxx lost out to female to male transsexual Buck Angel, or “Man with a Pussy” at the 2007 AVN Awards.
A move which is sure to irritate fans of transsexual porn whose favourite divas failed to get a nomination or secure a win, is being called “un-necessary publicity” and a “stunt” by some outraged fans.
Tattoo’d and pierced Angel burst onto the porn scene in 2003 with his website Transsexual Man and was the first male to female transsexual working in the adult industry. Many thought it was a joke at first or a fad but he’s appeared in a number of his own productions, as well guest appearances with other perfomers and his DVD’s have sold exceptionally well, in a market which he has made his own.
Buck Angel been featured on The Howard Stern Show, Bizarre Magazine and won numerous awards and credits. In 2006, Buck seemed to be ubiquitous with DVD titles playing up the man with the pussy, such as “Buck’s Beaver”, “Buck Fever” and “Buck Off”. He appeared in the inaugral Allanah Starr DVD “Big Boob Adventures” in which the larger than life, shemale Allanah fucks Buck Angel – a male to female, fucking a female to male. A new niche!
Another shemale, no stranger to publicity herself,Wendy Williams starred with Buck in “Buck Fever”.
I’ve met Buck on a number of occassions, the first time at a night out with the delicious Saigon Lee, in Peanuts (Club 7969) in West Hollywood, we’d been drinking and chatting for hours before he told me he was a female to male, I was totally dumbfounded. I’ve since met him at the AVN show and had sporadic contact but we were the first mainstream style site (if a tranny site can be a mainstream site) on Shemale Yum to promote Buck, as a transsexual (although having no place on the site to put him he had to go into the post-op galleries … but hey you all have pussies Buck!).
He’s a totally cool dude, he’s all male and I know he had more testesterone in the AVN awards than most of the regular male performers there. I’m sure there are a few snapped heels and outraged diva’s in Las Vegas tonight as I’m sure the faceless contributors to many tgirl forums will spit their venom.
Buck Angel is a transsexual – and he’s a fantastic performer who is one of the only original people in any type of adult entertainment. The AVN Award is for “Best Transsexual Performer” – and he fits into that category without a doubt. An award that has only been won a few times before, by Vaniity, Vicki Richter and the 2006 winner, Gia Darling. Maybe AVN will have to split the award into “Best Female to Male Performer” and “Best Male to Female Performer” but for now, congratulations Buck Angel. You are a star!
