The kid from Long Island, New York was born female and went by Alexandra before transitioning to male as a teen but was unhappy with his "feminine features" early on so he discovered a supportive gym when he was a senior and developed a passion for bodybuilding. He said "If people ask me, i always say i'm not a transgender bodybuilder. I do not want to be labeled as a transgender bodybuilder. I'm not a bodybuilder that happens to be trans. For me, being transgender is not something that should limit you or define you" His parents, Florin and Monica said when he was a little girl, he preferred to trucksto dolls and had only boys as friends. Before puberty, he suffered gender dysphoria, the discomfort a pereson feels due to a mismatch between gender identity and assigned gender He realized something was wrong and felt societal expectations of a female that made him uncomfortable as he felt utter disgust with himself and the anxiety from people seeing him as a certain way When it became too much, he told his parents he was transgender and while she didn't quite understand, she supported him and told him "You're my child, i love you no matter what" Alex felt relieved as other parents out there with teens who come out are not always so supportive and couldn't be more grateful his parents were supportive He started hormone therapy early on at 12 to block puberty and when he was 16 had "top surgery" to remove his breast tissue and began taking testosterone At 18 he came in FIRST in his debut men's bodybuilding competition and it brought tears to his father's eyes who said seeing his son on stage and posing was "so empowering" and felt like a sign from the universe that he was doing something he loved Alex said "I'm sure there's people that think i should not be able to compete with the other men, but quite frankly, it's not really up to them. Its up to the people that make the shows and they're very accepting" He thinks the bodybuilding community has accepted him when they used to have "insecurity" where the belief alex would never look as a guy but he proved them wrong on his major transformation and win as he proved he can be as STRONG as the other guys.
