EP.25 - Be who you were born to be with AYDIAN DOWLING

Published: Nov. 12, 2019, 5 a.m.

Aydian is a husband and father and he loves his family fiercely. He works hard and he works out hard, at times sizing himself up against the other guys lifting at the gym. He loves life and lives it to the fullest. He takes extreme ownership in the situations he finds himself in. He believes in himself and the call he has answered. He is like any one of the outstanding men we follow and emulate. Except for one difference. One. He is a transgender man.

Aydian is celebrating 10 years since he started hormone therapy and the incredible journey it set him on. Today he shares his story, wisdom and passion with me.

I lived blinded by prejudice and lacked empathy and perspective for so long, but I am glad I had my eyes opened so that I could share this conversation with him , and now with you.
