Podcast appearances and mentions of Buck Angel

You may have recently seen episode 1 in the new docuseries "Uncomfortable Truths." Today I'm joined by its filmmaker, Travis Brown, who was drawn to investigate gender ideology after noticing many traits it shared in common with the controlling religious environment he grew up in.We discuss the historical context of gender transition protocols and the questionable ethics of current practices. Travis highlights the alarming trend of rushing into medical procedures without adequate understanding or consideration of the long-term consequences, especially for minors. From his libertarian perspective, he emphasizes the need to balance personal freedom with the importance of waiting periods and psychological evaluations before undergoing irreversible surgeries. Meanwhile, I argue that these procedures should be outlawed altogether, reframing the debate from one of individual rights to one of professional ethical responsibilities.Travis Brown is a visiting fellow at Danube Institute, content producer for Genspect, the president of a non-profit, and an international filmmaker and commentator known for his thought-provoking docuseries 'The Woke Reformation,' which features Peter Boghossian, Douglas Murray, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Vivek Ramaswamy, and other brave intellectuals who demolish and then offer a positive alternative to Woke culture. Travis frequently engages with contemporary cultural issues, exploring themes like identity, belief, and the importance of meaning through his work. He travels internationally to screen his work and engage in public discussions.Travis is the president of The Signal Education Project (SEP), a non-profit that shines a light on how dogmatic thinking distorts the truth and fractures our relationships. Through SEP, Travis explores how strict ideologies shape our view of reality, the effect this has on our conversations, and what it does to relationships and society as a whole. SEP's current project investigates the contentious topic of gender identity in the upcoming docuseries Uncomfortable Truths: The Reality of Gender Identity Ideology.Donate to support the series on GiveSendGo.00:00 Start[00:02:03] Trans ideology and its impact.[00:03:33] Identity and oppression in upbringing.[00:08:06] Oppression and authoritarian tendencies.[00:12:00] Compassionate perspectives on trans issues.[00:16:18] Conveyor belt of transition.[00:19:02] Communicating with trans-identified youth.[00:22:27] Language and its implications.[00:27:03] Interviewing controversial figures.[00:31:17] Buck Angel's evolving perspectives.[00:35:55] Moral psychology and fear.[00:38:31] Importance of opposing views.[00:41:41] Concerns about social media influence.[00:46:53] Medical autonomy and restrictions.[00:48:10] Ethical dilemmas of technology.[00:53:31] Rebuilding parent-child relationships.[00:58:04] Spiritual needs in society.[01:01:40] Pursuing creativity after activism.[01:03:13] Content quality in storytelling.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Stephanie Lepp is a video artist and producer whose work focuses on bringing together different viewpoints to arrive at a perspective that goes beyond “common ground” and emerges as a true integration, or synthesis. She was on the podcast in July 2022 to talk about a project called Deep Reckonings. In it, she considered the cases of public figures who'd responded to personal controversy in less-than-ideal ways and reimagined responses that would have conveyed genuine learning. Now she's back with a new video series, Faces of X, which illustrates an argument using a single performer to act out the three parts of the thesis, antithesis, synthesis schematic. Those performers include Buck Angel, Liv Boeree, Magatte Wade, and herself. In this conversation, I talk with Stephanie about why it's so hard to check your confirmation bias (even — and maybe even especially — when you pride yourself on being able to do so), the difference between synthesis and “both sidesism,” and why she's optimistic about the future of public discourse about complicated issues. GUEST BIO Stephanie Lepp is the founder of Synthesis Media, a production studio devoted to integrating perspectives into a bigger picture. In 2022, she debuted Reckonings, a narrative podcast that explores how we change our hearts and minds, and Deep Reckonings, a series of explicitly-marked deepfake videos that imagine morally courageous versions of our public figures. Her new project is Faces of X. Watch Deep Reckonings. Watch Faces of X. Listen to Stephanie Lepp's previous interview on The Unspeakable. Want to hear the whole conversation?

Buck Angel's message of empowerment through self-acceptance and the mission to encourage everyone to be comfortable in their own skin - whatever that means to them - has struck a passionate chord with people around the world. Buck was born female on June 5,1962. He never felt female and struggled through life until he had the life-changing opportunity to transition from female to male and finally live life authentically. He had many obstacles during his transition mostly due to no information for transitioning for FTM transsexuals. Since then he has managed to live his truth and he continues to help to educate the world with his story. His mission is to inspire people to redefine gender and to foster a new generation as they discover the fluidity of sexuality and navigate gender politics. His message, "It's not what is between your legs that defines you." has sparked many conversations and opened minds. Buck is a truth teller and he is here to share his perspective and experience today on Change the Narrative with JD Fuller.Mentioned@buckangel InstagramTwitter/ XYoutubeI AM Music Group

BUCK ANGEL was born female, diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and is now a transsexual man living in Los Angeles. He has been an outspoken advocate against the medicalization of children in relation to sex & gender, the misogyny of the modern trans movement, and the cultish aspects of it all.

Famous transsexual Buck Angel was kind enough to grace my stage and lay down the truth about his experience of being trans, and trans ideology. The former porn star was born a woman, and now identifies as a man despite not having bottom surgery. Yet, he has a surprising view on trans ideology, and criticises both sides for their lack of nuance in tackling what he calls gender dysphoria. Buck regularly interview people who detrans. That is, they try to turn back the process...here are his concerns.

En 2021, Boucar Diouf était de passage à mon podcast et a exclamé haut et fort que "les plus belles conversations ne se trouvent pas aux extrêmes (droite/gauche), elles ont lieu au milieu". Selon les sondages, entre 7% et 26% des Nord Américains ont une confiance absolue envers leurs médias traditionnels. Plutôt préoccupant. J'ai eu l'honneur de recevoir Éloïse Boies à l'émission le mois dernier pour parler de son podcast Elo Veut Savoir. Éloïse n'a pas la langue dans sa poche, adore les débats et prend grand plaisir à approfondir des sujets tabous avec nuances et sensibilité, ainsi que faire des entrevues avec des gens tels que Buck Angel, Oliver Stone, Ariane Bilheran et Dr Idriss Aberkane.

Described as 'a guinea pig' of the medical field when he first chose to seek help for gender dysphoria, Buck has a long history of speaking up on the issues facing trans youth today. We discuss the current climate, social trends and today's lobotomy: medicalisation of children.

Today we welcome Debra Soh, Marco Del Giudice, and Buck Angel.Dr. Debra Soh is a neuroscientist who specializes in gender, sex, and sexual orientation. She holds a PhD in neuroscience with scientific expertise in paraphilias, hypersexuality, and child sexual abuse prevention. As a journalist, her writing has appeared in several publications like the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and many more. In 2020, she published her first book called “The End of Gender”.Dr. Marco Del Giudice is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He received his bachelors in psychology and doctorate in cognitive science from the University of Turin in Italy. He has over a hundred scientific publications on personality, motivation, attachment styles, psychopathology, sex differences, and other topics. In 2016 he was granted the Early Career Award of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society (HBES).Buck Angel is an adult-film producer, performer and motivational speaker who also works as an advocate, educator, lecturer and writer. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance from 2010 to 2016. Born as a biological female, Buck conquered a lifetime of adversity to undergo his transformation to become the healthy, happy, self-confident man that he is today. Buck created the first FTM adult website in 2003, and became the first FTM adult entertainer and film producer. In 2007, Buck made history again as the first transexual man to ever win the AVN transexual performer of the year award. In this episode, I talk to Debra, Marco, and Buck about the scientific realities of biological sex. There is considerable opposition against the idea that sex is binary. But denying science because it doesn't seem to fit our gender beliefs can be dangerous. As ironic as it seems, when we acknowledge biology, we can accommodate more variation better than our preconceived, rigid social norms.Website: drdebrasoh.com , marcodg.net , buckangel.comTwitter: @DrDebraSoh & @BuckAngel Topics04:08 Dr. Marco's background and expertise 06:41 Dr. Debra's background and expertise07:48 Buck's background and expertise10:02 Shift from ‘transexual' to ‘transgender' 12:35 The separation of sex and gender21:33 Why feminists reject biology27:27 “It is transphobic to deny biology”30:51 Extreme trans activism 40:00 Transgenders vs TERFs43:07 Being gender fluid is trendy44:18 Losing the nuances in gender47:49 The evolutionary perspective of traits55:05 Dismantling the definition of woman58:46 De-transitioning and safe healthcare1:07:03 The construction of gender identity1:14:25 Social transitioning through pronouns1:22:32 Non-binary and non-specific labels1:28:42 Prioritizing truth over feelings

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Buck Angel as he takes on a journey through his experience of early life prior to his transition fighting for women's rights and post-transition as a mainstay on college campus stages around the country - that is - until the Pandemic. Buck describes reclaiming the word transsexual during the episode in an attempt to help those struggling with Gender Dysphoria find a way to make sense of the hijacking of their life to benefit an agenda. Buck beautifully articulates the importance of building emotional resilence and confidence before ever considering a medical treatment and how important it is for him to share this message with the world. We hope you will join us for this episode and share it far and wide. Buck is a beautiful human being with a message that needs to be heard. The radical agenda will have you believe that trying to slow this machine down is transphobic. Buck begs to differ and shares an experince and opinion from within the community that is not to be missed.     

Trans-gender Adult Film legend blazed a trail for all trans people today...yet there are still a lot of people in his community who still feel like they can have an opinion on how he conducts his life.And because of that, our favorite Tran-pa has a whole lot of opinions, and he's not afraid to speak his mind.We had him on this morning to chat about being on Cameo...but he also voiced his thoughts on a whole lot of subjects in the trans world!!

For this episode I spoke with Buck Angel, a male to female transexual who has lived 30 years as a woman and 30 years as a man.Buck spoke to me about his childhood growing up feelings like he was in the wrong body, the decision to "cross-over" despite there being little-to-no conversation around the topic at the time and the medical process including surgery and testosterone treatment.Buck shared his thoughts on trans-prisoners, some of the more extreme trans-activists, de-transitioners and much more.. 00:00 Growing up with feelings of wanting to be a boy, Influences08:05 Is it better to be born transsexual/transgender today or when Buck grew up?14:10 Decision to transition medically 17:25 Beginning of medical transition 21:00 “ this is where I butt heads w/ trans community” 28:15 Life as a woman vs life as a man35:10 Testosterone- Weight lifting37:55 Testosterone- Seeing your own face change 49:10 TRANS-PRISONERS 57:45 Social contagions affecting girls more than boys..  1:04:15 Seeing the trans-issue being used as a political tool 1:06:50 Final thoughts https://buckangel.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtciipyjckL-asTVYecsMQ https://www.tiktok.com/@thegoodlistenerpodcast?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pchttps://linktr.ee/TheGoodListenerPodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/thegoodlistenerpodcast/https://open.spotify.com/show/6841FNScEdMyfJhgEUHDfD?si=rZ8nT3-oT9Os1p_EbpU99whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-listener-podcast/id1580379332mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news podcastListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

4 American Women, 1 Canadian & 1 Brit discuss opposing views around the world.  How can we keep the lines of communication, about Gender Identity Activism, open & robust?  This movement, which is from the Top-Down, is not the way grass root movements work.  We try to understand the issues. Listen in, be that Fly on the Wall…

Join the Unapologetic Discord Server: https://discord.gg/unapologetic I met transgender activist Blossom Brown on the set of an upcoming Jubilee video about trans & gender issues we are both going to appear in. We got into some back and forth on that video but got along despite our disagreements, so I invited Blossom on the show along with transexual speaker and activist Buck Angel to respectfully discuss some of the most contentious questions surrounding the trans debate, from athletics and bathrooms to child transitioning. Big thanks to Buck and Blossom for joining me in studio and I hope we all learn something from this fascinating conversation!

GG talks to Buck Ange l. An important conversation with an important person during important times. From Straw Hut Media 

Parent, pornographer, and kinky icon Buck “Tranpa” Angel joins the Dorx for some good old-time tranny talk with Corinna, plus some new-time TERF talk and female bonding with Nina (both have had hysterectomies). We discuss Instagram censoring Buck's recent interview with a young survivor of medical interventions; PayPal penalizing wrongspeak; porn, finance, and the law; Teletubbies; detransitioners; orgasms; misogyny; cowardice; the importance of not transing children; and whether Nina gives off a “butch lesbian vibe.” Nina mis-sexes Buck twice, and Corinna reveals more about “trans-affirming health care” causing sexual disability. We laugh, we cry (inside), and we take everything less seriously than the “queer activists” of today. links: Buck Angel on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BuckAngel Buck Angel's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/BuckAngelOfficial/ Nina's menopause shirt: https://nina-paley-shirts.creator-spring.com/listing/menopause-is-badass Our Kate Bornstein episode: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-72-auntie-kate-uncle-nina-and-mx-cohn-with-kate-bornstein/ Gays Against Groomers: https://www.gaysagainstgroomers.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heterodorx/support

Kelly is joined by Buck Angel.  Buck is a transsexual man who has strong opinions about the ways the trans community is often portrayed in 2022.  Episode recorded 7/20/2022.

We took the podcast on the road this week — to Provincetown for a live chat with Jamie Kirchick, whose new book, Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington, I reviewed last week. We were able to discuss much more than could be covered in pixels — with questions from the audience as well.You can listen to the episode right away in the audio player above (or click the dropdown menu to add the Dishcast to your podcast feed). For two clips of my convo with Jamie — on the similarities between anti-Semitism and homophobia, and on whether J. Edgar Hoover was gay — head over to our YouTube page. Also: new week, new transcript — this time with Charles Murray. It was one of the most popular episodes last year, and if you never listened to it, now’s your chance to read it as well.Looking back to our episode with Kathleen Stock (who has since moved to Substack!), we still have many unaired emails from listeners. The first writes:I just wanted to email to say thank you for the work you’re doing on the (potential) threat of trans ideology to cis gays. I’m a 33-year-old cis gay in Australia, and I was a bit confused by trans stuff at first, because I felt I was supposed to implicitly understand trans issues, existing in that “LGBT” bloc. Back around 2013, any trans-related conversation amounted to laughing about the silliness of the “xe/xir” stuff, while still acknowledging that it’s simple human decency to use whatever pronouns someone asks me to use.As Kathleen Stock said on your podcast, respecting trans people through their struggle always seemed “costless.” Clearly, that is no longer true. Something has changed for the worse; the most visible, loud and most obnoxious segment of the LGBT community are the “queer fascists.” I’m called a bigot for simply acknowledging that there exist people who detransition (without even mentioning whether transgenderism might be a form of gay conversion therapy, in some cases). I could go on and on, obviously, but again: thank you.P.S. I adored your point on Brendan O’Neill’s show about how the queer community used to be the resistance, but has transitioned into being the censorious puritans.Here’s a clip from the Stock pod:From another listener who “LOVED the conversation with Kathleen Stock”:I’m an intersex person and can say with authority that human bodies are weird. Mine doesn’t produce enough sex hormone. I tried testosterone and developed anxiety, depression, and depersonalization, so I’m now going in the other direction and I’m much happier. My pronouns are “whatever you want,” and I’m fully aware that I’m atypical. I don’t care for the “trans” label because of how ridiculous it has become. That makes my heart hurt for those who have battled very hard to be recognized only to watch their identity subverted into something meaningless by a vicious and thoughtless mob. I hate what was done to Kathleen or anyone else who says, “Hey, wait a minute, we should talk about this.” I don’t know when talking about our differences became so damn dangerous. It’s intellectually dishonest. Weren’t universities supposed to be the places to halt this kind of thing, where ideas could be debated and reasoned through? But if the universities are all businesses now, and their incentives are about how to get more paying students, then where else can the debate be had? Where are the incentives more closely aligned with the public good rather than the almighty dollar? I don’t know. I worry that place doesn’t exist here in the US.One thing that was truly horrifying was when you mentioned that gay kids are being told they’re trans because they’re gay. That’s evil. I don’t know what else to call it. Human brains aren’t done forming until what, our 20s? There’s a reason peer pressure is so pernicious for teenagers, and it seems strange that many adults seem to have forgotten it and blithely go along with kids (rare exceptions aside) who want to block their own puberty or have a double mastectomy before they can legally vote.Anyways, I enjoyed every minute of your conversation with Kathleen, even the part where you went on about how “I don’t even know what non-binary IS,” because that’s how I feel as a non-binary person! I’m not comfortable with either of given options, nor am I comfortable in any same-sex space (but I manage in airports). Again, I’m atypical on the chromosomal level, so while I can’t speak to everyone’s experience, I can say mine is a bit more existential than the random 16 year old who’s decided, along with their entire social circle, that they’re suddenly non-binary and have all dyed their hair blue. Sometimes it feels like I’m riding around in a clown car, to be honest.From another fan of the episode, a medical doctor:I admire both you and Kathleen Stock. The more I learn about what is being done to children who don’t conform to stereotypes, the more horrified I’ve become.  During my lifetime, much has been done to accept people, including children as they are. We’ve come to recognize that there’s a great deal of variance of normal around the mean. But when it comes to subjecting children to dangerous medical interventions, we no longer need to worry about causing real harm? To me it appears that some physicians have no qualms about experimenting on healthy children. Malicious intent is all that’s missing for this to be criminal misuse of medical science.I have no platform to use to try to stop this. I appreciate that you and Dr. Stock are making an effort to put the brakes on this madness. Another medical doctor who sounded off on the trans debate was the great Dana Beyer:Listen to the whole episode here. Another listener reflects on the trans debate more broadly:Though I find the entire trans/gender battle beyond exhausting, the recent events surrounding the swimmer at Penn brought it front and center for me. Partly because I was a competitive swimmer in HS, but mostly because my girlfriend’s daughter is a championship-level swimmer with a scholarship to a top-tier program after HS. (By the way, the daughter is not okay with the Penn swimmer.)I have a degree in English, and I’m fortunate to have a lifelong best friend whose father is a linguist. And there were two linguistic tools recently designed to serve one group’s agenda while doing a terrible disservice to the one that should matter. The first was to change the term transsexual to “transgender,” shifting from a term defining the biology of gender dysphoria to one that is intentionally far more vague. The second was to create the shorthand term “trans,” which acts a vehicle for the first by turning something that affects .03% of the population into something broader and far more inclusive.It’s these subtle yet effective shifts in language that facilitate the gender vs biological sex movements, and accepting that someone who still has a penis can be defined as a woman. Now, “trans” is a definition designed to cover any permutation of gender non-conformity instead of actual gender dysphoria, as defined in the DSM-5. And it has opened the door to well-meaning (I assume) adults making terrible decisions regarding child development.Growing up as a boy, all my closest relatives — sister, cousins, an aunt three years older than me — were girls. I ended up playing with them often, regardless of the game or what items were involved (dolls, etc). I followed their lead and even thought I was supposed to pee sitting down. None of this was driven by a desire to be a girl, but rather just to be included. And like many boys, my first forays into my own genitalia involved other boys, as we learned about our bodies. But by the time I neared puberty, it was clear that I was both male and heterosexual. Yet, I fear that children growing up today in similar circumstances will find themselves in a world of confusion, brought on by adults, not their playmates.Speaking of confused kids, another listener:I’ve heard you express frustration and/or disbelief at the rate of depression among gay youth today, despite how much easier things are for them compared to the ‘70s and ‘80s. I just wanted to point out that many young people seem to believe that gay means same-gender attraction, not same-sex. This seems to be part of the Queer umbrella where heterosexual people can identify as another gender and so claim a gay identity. This makes no sense to me (I also find it homophobic), and I wonder if the whole mess contributes to the rates of depression among Millennials and Gen Z.One of those confused kids was Helena Kerschner, a young woman who transitioned and then detransitioned:Listen to her whole story, along with the inimitable Buck Angel’s, here. Another good point comes from this listener:I see the current kerfuffle about trans identities as reflecting the inability to experience complexity without anxiety and a desire to simplify things. That a person can have what are seen as conflicting senses of themselves — as a man, as a man/woman, woman/man, or somewhere in-between — is too complex for some people. Some I expect do find the idea anxiety-provoking — leading to questions about themselves, in a Freudian way — and they are trying to solve their problems by forcing others into boxes.Circling back to the Stock episode, another listener:I do want to push back on, and encourage you to revisit in depth, your point of disagreement with Kathleen over the use of puberty blockers and hormone treatments in transgender youth. While the issues are surely different in the case of adults who have reached the age of consent (though even here there is a strong reason for limiting what can be done in the name of medicine in the strict sense, with consequences for what insurance policies should have to cover), the idea that a child could be given permanently life-altering treatments on the basis of a diagnosis for which, as Kathleen observed, there are simply no rigorous criteria, and to treat a psychological condition that could very well turn out not to be lasting, seems utterly abhorrent. What serious arguments are there in defense of this? What are the responses to the obvious objections? Finally, what should liberal people, who are opposed to these treatments but nevertheless prize individual autonomy and fear governmental overreach, think about the various legislative strategies that are on offer to forbid or restrict access to them? I hope that this is a conversation you’ll be able to keep on having.For more debate on this ongoing issue, check out the Dishcast episode with Mara Keisling, the founding executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. A clip of our constructive disagreement:Lastly, a listener looks ahead:I’m writing to suggest a guest (though I am not sure she accepts podcast invitations). There’s a point of view on trans issues I haven’t really heard adequately represented on your podcasts or in your blog posts. I think the person who best articulates it is Natalie Wynn, aka Contrapoints. I recently watched her YouTube episode on J.K. Rowling (and TERFs in general). It was brilliant, and opened my mind to many of the tropes and biases we hear all the time that I wasn’t fully hearing. Natalie is extremely smart, articulate, funny, and not afraid to say things that piss off her tribe. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Charlie Kirk goes one-on-one with Buck Angel, a transsexual man and former pornographic film actor, in a riveting debate about transgenderism and pornography in American society. From the negative impact of porn on the human brain to the pharmaceutical industry capitalizing on the trans movement for profit, Charlie lays out his case "against," while Buck Angel depicts his history of transitioning from a biological female to pornographic actor who performs as a male in his position "for." Buck argues that porn is not all bad and can actually be a positive, and in a bit of a contrarian position, he expresses his disconnect with the modern trans movement, especially as it relates to children. In a moment where the trans debate is captivating the nation with "Lea" Thomas, Admiral Levin and Charlie's own Twitter suspension over his commentary on the issue, this debate is more important and timely than ever. Please share this episode far and wide for a can't miss discussion that will inform, educate, and captivate.  Credit to Debate Night with Charlie Kirk, originally produced byTurning Point USA  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
