    Hi all, just thought i'd let everyone know about this amazing documentary on US Netflix called Buck Angel, it's about a trans male porn actor turned trans activist and educator.

    It was such a good doc, his bio was heartbreaking but presented so well and his spirit and determination to change the way cis people view the trans and genderqueered community gave me some comfort with my own gender issues...well worth the watch!

    I know Buck from interviews on youtube, he is amazing. Looking forward to watch it, same as his works. He is one of the first pioneers on transporn.

    Today there is a screening here in Berlin of his last movie, "Fucking Different XXY", I think he'll be there.


    ... Ach, no, it's gonna be tomorrow... Moviemento Kino Berlin Kreuzberg

    I saw it. I'm not a huge fan of Buck Angel but it's a fascinating documentary and he's a pretty cool guy. Talks a lot about his career, his early life and all that jazz.

    Edit-

    He does talk a lot about the addictions and dysphoria he dealt with when he was younger so for some of you it might not be easy to watch but I would highly recommend "Mr. Angel".

    LGBT people are so much more understanding because of the things we go through.not all but i think the general majority of straight peoplle are so much more narrow minded. not bad. just narrow minded.
