Shawn Stinson has won the first Transgender Bodybuilding
Competition.‘My definition of being transgender is being born in the
wrong body,’ Sean says.
‘I was very depressed as a child, suicidal.’In the US, 41% of respondents in a transgender
discrimination survey said they had attempted suicide at one point or another.
But it was when he joined the military that things
started to make a move towards transitioning between his birth body and the one
he thought he should be in all along.
‘Over in Iraq… I chose to work out. My main focus was on
my chest.
If I went to the beach, I could probably walk around
without a shirt on.
‘I was transitioning without really knowing I was
transitioning.’
