Another bit of LGBTQ+ news out of Ontario: Transgender Invictus Games athlete dives into competition for the first time as a man
The medals may not come this time around, but for injured American soldier Aaron Stewart, these Invictus Games in Toronto feel just right as he competes as a man for the first time.
Stewart, 33, has competed in swimming and recumbent cycling in two other Invictus Games as a woman, winning eight medals, including two golds. This time, going up against men makes the competition tougher but that doesn’t matter to Stewart.
“It’s completely different. The competition itself is different and I feel comfortable this year because I’m able to compete as myself,” the Missouri native said on CTV’s Your Morning Friday.
