Stop Enabling "Generation Bro" -A Spoken Word Message from a Trans Man

Can we survive "Generation Bro"?

Stepping into any gym is proof enough that we still live in a society that praises hyper-masculinity. Everyone has struggled with body image, and identity, but the struggle is magnified for members of the Transgender community. Not only do they feel as though they don't belong in the body they were born in, they have to prove it to the world. And why is that? Why can't people live their lives as their authentic self without fear and judgment?

Aydian Dowling AKA ALionsFears is a Transgender man. In a world where being different isn't always accepted, Aydian has pushed through and become an advocate for giving voices to those who feel lost or confused. He wants to stop the world from putting on masks, and start lifting each other up.

Aydian posted his spoken word poem 'Generation Bro' to break the cycle and stigma of gender conformity, to help other people be their authentic self. So stand up and put a stop to "Generation Bro".
