Parlaying the self-esteem and confidence he garnered through his sex change, he made history as the world’s first female-to-male transsexual (FTM) Porn Star. In 2007, he became the first FTM to win the prestigious Transsexual Performer of the Year Award from AVN.
Buck Angel is also a groundbreaking filmmaker who has produced a series of public service announcements on seldom-discussed topics, and a unique pair of documentaries about transmen’s sexuality; one for the mainstream and the other, an explicit adult version.
He’s an entrepreneur who has gone from pioneering a new adult industry niche (FTM Porn) to appearing in mainstream media. More recently, he’s become a motivational speaker, educating people about sexuality and gender, with a universal message of learning to love one’s self.

Adults Melanie Davis works with: “Undergraduate and graduate students, medical students, professionals (physicians, nurses, midwives, nurse practitioners, educators), and the general public. The latter group includes private clients and people who attend my workshops on topics related to sex & aging and sex & cancer.”
Why the site is important: “Most children’s questions about sexuality boil down to, ‘Am I normal?’ Adults have similar concerns. They want reassurance that the ways their bodies look, feel, and function are OK. They want to know whether their sexual interests or behaviors fall within the realm of normalcy or healthy practice. When sexuality educators offer adults a blank card and invite anonymous questions, we give permission to ask questions they don’t feel comfortable asking anyone else. When we answer the questions, we validate not only the card’s author but also everyone in the room who wonders the same thing. ‘What They Are Asking’ allows adults see that the are not alone in their curiosity, concerns, anxiety, or fears. On a broader level, it also illustrates this country’s dire need for effective sexuality education programs. If every school offered high-quality comprehensive sexuality education year after year, children and teens would build a foundation upon which they would form their identities as sexually healthy adults.”

Why the site is important: “Most people think of sex education as something that’s only relevant for young people or that it only needs to focus on preventing sexually transmitted infections or unwanted pregnancy, if even that. But our sexualities change over time and there are always new challenges, so a lot of adults get stuck because they don’t have the information they need. In addition, a fulfilling sex life requires information about bodies, anatomy, sexual response, fantasies, negotiation, health, sexual techniques, and more. It’s no wonder that it often seems like a mystery.
What They Are Asking is an incredible resource because it shows how many different questions people ask us. It demonstrates that even in this era of the internet, there’s just as much sexual ignorance as ever. And it makes it clear that our work as sexuality educators is just as important as ever. Right now, at this very moment, someone is experiencing more pleasure, having a better orgasm, or creating a healthier relationship because of something I or my colleagues said to them. What They Are Asking lets you take a peek at the incredible range of topics we cover and shows how valuable our work is.”

Reid has appeared on the Emmy award-winning talk show Montel, Fox News, in Newsweek, Seventeen, GQ, The Washington Post, and in thirteen countries and at least seven languages. His workshops have been attended by close to 30,000 men and women. Reid has been a featured speaker at dozens of conferences on relationships and sexuality and is a sought-after presenter and teacher at colleges and sex positive stores across the country.
Why the site is important: Reid is proud to be a part of the What They Are Asking project because it lets us know -first hand- what questions students are hungry to have answers to and not what questions the media thinks they’re asking. What They Are Asking is a very simple and powerful tool to help reveal what the men and women in our colleges don’t know about sex and relationships, and what they’re asking for help with.

Sinclair maintains a blog where she answers many reader questions, and she writes an advice column for SexIsMagazine.com. She also teaches throughout the US on sex, gender, and relationships at colleges, community centers, and sex toy shops on a variety of subjects, primarily focusing on getting the sex life you want, feminist/queer/trans theories of liberation, and identity development.
Why the site is important: “We need more visibility for how much our sexual education in this country is lacking, and how hungry people are for answers. Some of these questions seem incredibly simple, some are incredibly complex, some are heart-breaking. We could all do with an honest, trustworthy source to talk to about our misinformation, confusion, and curiosity.”
