Buck Angel to Sponsor Best FTM Scene at Transgender Erotica Awards

Burbank, CA – FTM performer and trans activist Buck Angel will be sponsoring the Best FTM Scene category at the upcoming Transgender Erotica Awards. This is the first time the category will be included at the event.

“Thank you to TEA for making an award show dedicated to the transgender genre in the adult industry,” said FTM star Buck Angel. “Now we can celebrate our own successes and what we bring to the industry with pride and gratitude. I feel very honored to be a part of this show from the very beginning and winning the very first FTM performer award.”

“Buck has been a supporter of the show since its inception and as a pioneer in trans man erotica, as well as an educator and media personality, we’re honored to have him as a sponsor,” said Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby. “This is third year we’ve had trans men categories and given the growth and interest in this niche, we thought it was time to include a second trans men category for Best FTM Scene. We’re looking forward to cultivating our show with this part of the community.”

Buck Angel was the first trans man recipient of the AVN Transsexual Performer of the Year award, the first recipient of the Best FTM Performer award at the Transgender Erotica Awards, and a recipient of numerous Feminist Porn awards. An icon of popular culture, his message of empowerment through self-acceptance has struck a passionate chord with people all over the world.

Buck not only inspires people to think outside the box, he redefines gender and educates an entire generation on the fluidity of sexuality and identity politics. Since he coined the phrase “it’s not what’s between your legs that defines you!”, the term has become an anthem for men and women everywhere who have been inspired by this message of self-acceptance.

As the pioneer of an entirely new genre, Buck received international recognition for his work and continues to be a box office hit in numerous markets. The visionary filmmaker, advocate, educator, and motivational speaker launched Buck Angel Entertainment as a vehicle to produce multimedia projects including his groundbreaking mainstream documentary, “Sexing the Transman.” It appears at film festivals around the world. Fans can view his newest documentary “Mr. Angel” currently on Netflix.

In 2012, Buck was elected to the board of directors of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance and currently works to support that liberty as a human right. He has been a contributor to the Huffington Post and in 2013 was appointed as a writer for their “Gay Voices” blog. He is also currently working on his memoir.

UP Network’s TS Rockdolls, Piladyboy, and Victoria Veil to Sponsor Transgender Erotica Awards

Burbank, CA – Trans websites TS-Rockdolls, Piladyboy, and Victoria Veil, in conjunction with their parent company UP Network, announced their sponsorship of the 7th Annual Transgender Erotica Awards. The UP Network and its stars are nominated in multiple categories this year.

Owner and star of TS-Rockdolls.com Tempest said, “It’s a pleasure for myself and TS-Rockdolls once again to be both a nominee and sponsor of the TEAs and find myself among so many young dreamers battling away at the world’s old realities. As trans individuals we take our place in this world and are judged not by the questions we raise in others, but the strength and defiance that we deliver our answer. Much like the event riding forth under a new name there is a new journey to be started, a new promise to be fulfilled, a new page to be written. Be beautiful, be adventurous, be creative, be original.”

Victoria Veil, owner and star of VictoriaVeil.com, is excited to sponsor the Transgender Erotica Awards. “Erotica is about so much more than porn and sex,” said Veil. “And that’s doubly true for transgender performers who by their very nature shatter barriers in adult entertainment. It’s storytelling and delightful decadence, sexual release and kinky discovery, and I am thrilled to sponsor the only awards show for TG performers.” Veil is also known for her stunning appearances at EXXXOTICA and the LAIR at the AVN EXPO.

CEO of UP Network and owner of Piladyboy.com Ernie Black added, “We are proud to once again sponsor the Transgender Erotica Awards, to celebrate and give back in some small way to the trans community, and especially to represent the Transpinay culture of the Philippines. Indeed, we are thrilled by the nominations of two of our ladyboy models, Francine Gurchik and Vitress Tamayo. And I am personally ecstatic to be nominated as a photographer, acknowledged by my peers and in such fine company. Onward and UPward, always strive to break through the mundane to the extraordinary.”

UP Network is home to a variety of alternative porn sites in addition to TS-Rockdolls.com,VictoriaVeil.com andPiladyboy.com, including BitchSlapFilms.com and Eliteladyboy.com. They also provide web design services and hosting, in addition to production for the adult market. For more information, visit UP-Network.net.
