Ryan Sallans, activist and author, transitioned from female to male in 2005 and has recounted his life experiences in his newly released memoir, Second Son: Transitioning Toward My Destiny, Love and Life.

Since he began he has been committed to education surrounding medical, legal and social issues related to the transgender community. This blog serves as a guide and resource for individuals seeking guidance in the transgender community or for friends, family, lovers and partners who are eager to learn more about how a transition may impact the individual's life and those around them.

I know some people will be critical of this article and Keelin who was born assigned female, but identifies as male (just has not undergone any medical treatments for his transition yet), due to the fact that he identifies as male but will be trying out for the Olympics as female. 

I am NOT critical of him, but hopeful. The truth of the matter is, this is something he has worked long and hard toward, AND due to current policies the Olympics currently would not allow him to try out as a male. He has put his transition on hold to work toward his dream and I commend him for that. I wish him luck as he competes and hope that he goes down in our history books as the first transgender male to compete in the Olympics. 

In fact, if someone has something negative to say, you can keep it to yourself on this one.

    Being trans* and doing sport just doesn’t mix. It’s pretty upsetting.
