[Cover] Be you and Be Strong

The Danish Girl has stolen the spot light to trans since it hits the theaters. Now, there are two tans models make this light brighter, Ben Melzer and Aydian Dowling, as they are going to cover the magazine separately next month.

In past time, no matter in Europe, America or Asia, what happened if u want to change ur gender? Be diagnosed as psychosis or be treated as gender confusion like Einar Wegener faced in the film. However, like Lily said, God gave her a female inside but disguised her as him.

So, the surgery was just a way to remove the disguise and let the true her breath. I believe Ben Melzer and Aydian Dowling will both agree with that.

Nowadays, transgender people could live a better life than one Einar Wegener lived, but a lot of them still face massive difficulty such as self-identify. Everyone needs a hero to stand by you, fortunately, we have Ben Melzer and Aydian Dowling such brave warriors to represent trans community and fight with those still being in struggle.

Trans fitness model Ben Melzer (he is so damn hot) is going to be the first trans man jumps on European fitness magazine, Men's Health Germany, cover of its March issue. In the video he talks a bit about his journey and shares his childhood photos (in pink dress), he also emphasizes that

"If there is one person out there I can help, I will succeed."

As for Aydian Dowling ( he is so damn hot), the first trans man won the cover contest of Men’s Health magazine special edition last year, although the editors of the magazine chose the overall winner be the cover guys altogether.

This time, he has his own cover on GayTimes Magazine March issue and this is the first transgender man to grace GT’s cover as well. He talks about his top surgery and confessed it was one of the most amazing and frightening experiences of his life so far.

“The feeling of having to hide, or cover up yourself, can be very traumatising to one’s feeling of self worth.”

This is what he said in the cover story. 

From Einar Wegener to Ben Melzer and Aydian Dowling, they represent different period of time when trans live, different countries where trans live and different type of trans, but they represent one thing

Be you.
