A transgender man will be the new face of the iconic boxing brand Everlast, in a move lauded for showing that there are"many ways to be a man."
" A lot of people in boxing who I talk to, they would come to me and say, 'You could have been, you know, one of the greatest female world champions, they’re like, you would throw it all away to be yourself?'" he said in a video for Everlast."And I tell them, 'That’s how bad I felt living that lie.'"
"So I learned to be quiet, I learned to stifle that part of me," he said, saying that eventually he felt"completely disconnected from myself." Thomas Page McBee, 38, a writer who has studied masculinity and an amateur boxer who became the first transgender man to fight in New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden, said he feels Manuel's story shows that there are"many ways to be a man."
