Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

Throws these out in the open and runs

Thought I'd try to do a more realistic approach for the heck of it. Not sure how well that came across when my style leans more realistically anyway, but I wanted to give it an attempt anyway.

I think I slipped up in the last one a bit, so I'll have to actually get references of the different creatures next time my phone is charged.
