Buck Angel speaking in Gothenburg Sweden March 29th - RFSU Göteborg & RFSL Göteborg
Buck Angel till Göteborg
I am coming to Sweden again. Here is a nice post from a friend I met when I was in Stockholm in August for Gay Pride. I am translating using google so don’t laugh at it:)
Last night or rather late in the night I got a nice email from Buck Angel. He also told us that he will come to Gothenburg March 28 and stay until early April. So all you who labor and live in Gothenburg can already now start to consider if you should run a big event / party or is interested in booking Buck Angel for an inspirational lecture on the norms and values that govern our lives and prevents us from think logically. Buck Angel’s story of his life can cause anyone to stop and think and it can also create fundersamheter, go and listen. We will never be perfected and we can always learn more.
Moreover, it is a great honor to Buck Angel wants to use the pictures we took last year. Proud and happy!
Igår kväll eller snarare sent i natt fick jag ett fint mail från Buck Angel. Han berättade även att han kommer till Göteborg 28 Mars och stannar till i början av April. Så alla ni som arbetar och bor i Göteborg kan ju redan nu börja fundera på ifall ni ska köra ett stort event/fest eller är intresserad av att boka Buck Angel för en inspirationsföreläsning om de normer och värderingar som styr våra liv och hindrar oss från att tänka logiskt. Buck Angels berättelse om hans liv kan få vem som helst att stanna upp och fundera och det kan även skapa fundersamheter genom att gå och lyssna. Vi blir aldrig fullärd och vi kan alltid lära oss mer.
Dessutom är det en stor ära att Buck Angel vill använda sig av bilderna vi tog förra året. Stolt och glad!
When I was in Sweden to speak at Gay Pride the television show called “Outsiders” did a segment on me. It is one of Sweden top viewed shows. The other guests on the show are pretty amazing. I think you will like it.
Sweden is awesome.
WOOF!

Im R, And im a big fan from sweden and admire all the inspiration you give to people,
and your speeches inspire me alot too C:
I am a trans guy (FtM) and im only 16 years old and trying to be who i really are
even if im not proud of it.
Im just curious if you are going to speak at pride in Gothenburg 2012?
i heard that you were in stockholm but i couldn’t make it there
and it would be nice too be there.
Thank you so much for the email and letting me inspire you to be yourself. Sorry to hear you are not proud of yourself I do hope that will change.
Learn to just not care what the world thinks of you, It is important to love yourself then everything else will come.
As for Gay Pride in Gothenburg no I do not think I will be there.
Maybe I will have the chance to speak again in Sweden next year.
WOOF!

You are a true inspiration to me
Hi man, how are you?
I’m a transguy from Sweden. I wrote to you on youtube.com and i was so happy about your respond.
I knew you were going to Stockholm Pride this year and i would love to have been there, but i couldn’t make it because I didn’t have the money..
Some of my friends went to hear you speak and I saw you on TV. I regret so hard that I didn’t make the opportunity to meet you and hear you out.
You are a true inspiration to me and i don’t have anyone to talk to about what I’m going through.
I started my hormones for about 3 weeks ago and I feel great, but it would be nice to have a friend who actually knows what he’s talking about.
I don’t have any trans friends and it get’s kinda lonely even though I have a fiancé. She is so amazing and loving. She was my missing piece of The puzzle of Life.
I’ve been trying to get a hold on your new film; Sexing the transman XXX. It’s not very easy to find here in Sweden, i’m afraid. :(
I think your film would help me and my girl to explore ourselfs and our sexuallity in a way that we’re not familiar with yet.
Anyway. I just wonder if you’re ever coming to Sweden again sometime soon? It would mean a lot to me to meet you in person.
I know you think it’s weird and all with all these fans and I’m sorry if I’m one of them, but I can’t help that you are the most admireable
person I’ve ever seen. ;)
Hope you’re having an amazing day!
Tell your wife I said hi! (I’m a piercer too, so i’ve heard a lot about her.)
Best Regards,
Thank you so much for your email! Sorry we missed each other in Sweden I hope to back again next year. The Outsiders show has been really great for me so many Swedish people have seen it and really are so happy. I hope this can help swedish transmen be able to be more excepted there.
As for your trans friends. When I started my transition it was the same for me because I did it so long ago and there was really no one doing this. So the friends I had hated me for having a sex change. I think there is a really good trans awareness group in stockholm.You should find out how to go to meetings and hang out with them.
I don’t think any shops are selling Sexing the Transman XXX in Stockholm because the shops are very few. But you can always order it from the website I can ship it to Sweden
http://sexingthetransman.com/adult/buy/
I will tell my wife hi from you!
Thanks again for emailing and hope that you have a great transition! Stay healthy and love yourself!
WOOF!!

I was born in the wrong body. I am the man in a female body.
hello my name is O and I am 17 years old.
I live in Stockholm.
I was born in the wrong body. I am the man in a female body.
I have appreciated you very long. and when I have looked at the”outsiders”and followed your story. I recognize myself very much. I have fought a long time, people have way me cry. I havebeen plain. but always when I collapsed, I think”it gets better.”
if you can handle it.
I can do it too.
I have always been placed in the wrong body. have not really dared to tell it. but I did it this year for sunvi (my mother). and she took it .. very .. specially.
I know I can not operate me. for I am too young. Therefore, I use a binding that hide my breasts.
I look up to you buck. thanks for you there! I feel much better then. Your Video on youtube called”it gets better.” made me teary-eyed. I’m disappointed in myself that I missed you inStockholm.
and I hope I get to meet you!
also hope for a response.
greetings, o.
Hi Ozzy,
Thanks for the email. I am so sorry you missed me in Stockholm at Gay pride but maybe I will be back next year.
Your story just like mine is so common. We all feel so out of place but just know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. One day you can make your body match your inside. It is great that
you can know this at 17 years old.
Your life will get better. Know that and just always keep your head up and think very positive about yourself. Love yourself!
WOOF!

A moving letter from Stockholm-It has just been such an amazing exerience being here at Pride in Stockholm. I honesty can’t remember the last time so many people have come up to me to tell me how much of an inspiration I have been to help them move on and feel like they have something to look forward to because of my strength and courage to tell my story. I feel so wonderful to be able to help people I just can’t explain the feelings in words! here is an email from someone who attended my talk here in Stockholm pride:
Hi Buck!
I saw you at Pride on the 4th, and I was just so moved by your story.
When you spoke about starting to hate yourself when you were growing up, I cried with you; I began hating every part of myself around the same time in my life, but the difference is I never stopped. I still haven’t found it in me to accept who I am. I am now 23 years old and after nearly 13 years of harming myself in just about every way imaginable in order to dull the pain of self-loathing, I’ve just started seeing a therapist to try and get better. Hearing your story and seeing you stand there, so strong, confident and beautiful really inspired me to keep fighting. Listening to your words, I felt like for the first time I really believed that everything was going to be alright, somehow.
So I just wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You’ve touched my life, and I’m so grateful.
Thank you for being you.
WOOF!!
Buck Angel
