Filipino boxer shares his thoughts on being a trans man in his sport

Bacyadan will make history as the first openly trans boxer to compete in the Olympics

Filipino boxer Hergie Bacyadan is set to make history as the first openly trans boxer to compete in the Olympics. Bacyadan, who identifies as a trans man, will make his Olympic debut at the Paris 2024 Games.

Bacyadan's journey to the Olympics has been a long and challenging one. He was born in the Philippines and raised in a conservative Catholic family. Bacyadan knew from a young age that he was different from other boys, but he was afraid to come out as transgender. He eventually came out to his family and friends, and he began to transition to male in 2014.

Bacyadan's transition was not easy. He faced discrimination and prejudice from some people, but he also found support from others. He began boxing in 2016, and he quickly rose through the ranks. He won the Philippine national boxing championship in 2018, and he qualified for the Olympics in 2022.

Bacyadan's story is an inspiration to many people. He is a role model for trans people everywhere, and he shows that anything is possible if you have the courage to be yourself.
