About Buck Angel

Buck Angel was born a biological female. From as early as he can remember, he knew he was male on the inside. Even his parents and siblings treated him like he was a boy until he reached puberty. That’s when the conflict began, which escalated to extreme drug and alcohol addiction and multiple suicide attempts.

In the midst of this volatile period, he became an internationally renowned female model, a lifestyle that only added to his drug use and unresolved gender identity.

In 2003, Buck Angel made history as the Adult Industry’s first female-to-male Porn Star and Adult-film producer. Since then, his career has evolved into education and mainstream media

Stonewall National Museum & Archives is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c) (3) that promotes understanding through preserving and sharing the proud culture of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their significant role in society. Learn more at stonewall-museum.org.
