He’s in his late 50’s. He’s a trailblazer. He’s done porn, and he’s a man. A transman, and he’s got something to say about being a man of a certain age in the LGBTQ community. Never one to walk away from a fight or a belief system, Buck Angel is coming out swinging as a man in his 50’s letting everyone know that TRANPA is in the house. But what is TRANPA? An elder TRANSMAN who is not going to be told, ” Go sit down TRANPA and let us younger TRANSMEN take the lead now!” All Buck is asking for is some respect. Respect for those who’ve gone before us all in our fight for equality rights and voice as we age with grace and dignity.
