Transgender women are far more prevalent in the entertainment and media industries than transgender men. The idea is that a trans man would be unable to achieve the sculpted figure of the leading man or male model. Take a look at Aydian Dowling, who is here to prove them wrong. His transformation began in 2010, and just five years later, he was on the cover of Men’s Health magazine, flaunting his hard work and chiseled physique. This was also a first, as no other trans man had ever been featured in the widely circulated journal. Despite his health remains a top priority, he is also happily married, has a popular YouTube channel, and has launched a clothing company for trans people.

Lauren Harries

This British reality star, born James Charles Harries, first appeared in front of the camera at the age of 13 dressed in a tuxedo and a bow tie discussing art and antiques. While she had a talent for discovering hidden treasures from a young age, hiding her true identity began to eat away at her until she received the assistance she required for gender reassignment surgery. Transitioning after being in the spotlight at such a young age presented additional issues; people felt entitled to harass her since she was well-known. Despite this, Lauren persevered and established a career in reality television, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, and This Morning. Besides from her reality show appearances, she has also recounted her personal story in a documentary about her transition.
