Patricio Manuel

#PatricioManuel (July 22, 1985 – ): A super featherweight in the world of boxing, Manuel is the first #transgender boxer in the history of the United States to have a professional fight. Prior to transitioning, he was a five-time USA female national amateur boxing champion and competed in the 2012 Women’s U.S. Olympic Trials. According to his Wikipedia page, he began his transition in 2013 with hormone treatments and had his top surgery the following year. In his first fight after transitioning, he fought #AdanOchoa, which he won by unanimous decision. He made his professional debut in 2018, where he fought a four-round fight against #HugoAguilar, which was another unanimous victory. The following year he spoke at a launch event for the San Francisco 49ers LGBTQ+ and allies fan club and in 2019 became the new face of #Everlast boxing equipment, making him the first transgender boxer to represent the brand. #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #LGBTQIAPride #Pride #LegendsOfPride #YouCannotEraseUs
