Buck Angel

Angel was born in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, California, assigned female and given a feminine name. Now he is a successful transgender man who made investments in a sensitive industry and founded Buck Angel Entertainment. Just like many on the list, he took it upon himself to be an advocate, educator, lecturer, and writer of sensitive topics that revolve around the trans community. In fact, he served as the Board of Directors of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation. He received the AVN Award in 2007.

He has had a hard time completing his gender transformation during his early years. He eventually met a therapist, who viewed him more as a gay woman. At the age of 28, he started his medical transition, and since there was little data about transitioning that was available during this time, he became one of the pioneers of hormonal transition.
