First Transgender Cover Model For Men’s Health Germany
Quote:
When 29-year-old Benjamin Melzer, the first transgender man to be on the cover of the German edition of Men’s Health, stopped by BuzzFeed News for a chat, he brought along his mom Margret. Soft-spoken and low-key, Melzer doesn’t demand attention — until he gets in front of a camera, where he somehow feels at home.
“Modeling, standing in front of the camera is so my thing. It doesn’t feel like work. I just love it,” Melzer said. “I don’t care if it’s all day long and if it’s exhausting, if I’m freezing — I just love it. It feels right for me.”
Yes, though that should be pretty obvious given that he has a male name, was referred to with male pronouns throughout the article and is posing for Men's Health.
