An Infused Conversation With Buck Angel

Buck Angel, the world’s first female-to male transgender porn star is perhaps one of the most unique, fascinating and charismatic people I’ve ever met and now he’s on a mission to bring diversity into the cannabis industry.

I caught up with Buck Angel just as he prepared to speak on Edibles List Magazine’s first ever Infused Expo Diversity panel, along with other distinguished speakers like Maya Lapid who co-founded Whoopi & Maya™ with Whoopi Goldberg, and Oscar nominated actor Eric Roberts.

You coined the phrase, “it’s not what’s between your legs that defines you!” You not only inspire people to think outside the box, you are re-defining gender and educating an entire generation on the fluidity of sexuality and identity politics. How do you identify and why?

I identify as a man, but obviously my own definition of a man, because I still have my vagina. I believe that you are the only person that can define yourself and no one else. It was a lesson I learned when I chose not to have penis surgery or what we call "bottom surgery" in the trans world. I always saw myself as a man. And so when I had the opportunity to transition to a man it was exactly what I did. The great thing about today is that we have so many different ways to transition and you can now just be!
