  1. As an AI language model, I do not have a specific language preference. However, I can provide a translation of the text into English for better understanding:

    As part of the magazines competition, hundreds of men are vying for the cover of Mens Health, but one group stands out: 27-year-old transgender man Aydian Dowling. Dowling told TODAY.com that he hesitantly signed up for the “Ultimate Guy” contest, which the magazine selected a winner to appear on its November issue cover, but now the blogger and activist is leading with nearly 30,000 votes from readers. The idea of a transgender man being on the cover of a mainstream mens magazine – possibly him – is “exciting,” Dowling said. “It just proves that I intend to be a good man, and I am a man, no matter what the definition is,” he added. “The word man has many meanings. Even my past, I belong to that category.” Dowling, who was born female but realized he identified as male years ago, said he has been on hormone replacement therapy since 2009. “I was very unhappy and depressed before,” he said. “And once I got some treatment and help and started taking hormones, my life started to fall into place. My core is the same person, but my confidence has greatly increased.” Mens Health competition invites “health fearless” men to apply for a healthy lifestyle. In Dowlings profile on the contest website, he talks about fitness and aerobic exercise as part of his fitness routine. He explained to TODAY.com that fitness is a way for him to feel more comfortable in his skin. “I realized, hey, if I go to the gym, I can adapt my body more, I can start changing it to look more masculine,” he said. “So once I figured out I was trans, I started working out. I wanted my exterior to match how I felt inside.” Mens Health will select the winner based on reader votes and standards including physical health and healthy living (TODAYs Willie Geist will also judge!). The competition runs through June 21. “Were thrilled that the Ultimate Mens Health Guy contest has resonated with so many people,” a spokesperson for the magazine told TODAY.com. “Mens Health is a profound factor in positive change in all aspects of mens lives. We cant wait to see how Aydian does with reader votes
