Transgendered people and bodybuilders share a lot in common- they both work very hard for the body they want to have. In many ways, enhancing gender characteristics on either side of the male or female spectrum is a difficult transition.
Although bodybuilders can get muscles by spending long hours at the gym and eating right, they sometimes resort to steroids to get big. For trans people, they especially have to rely on hormonal supplementation to achieve their desired look.In a world that has a hard time accepting people who are different, some trans people and bodybuilders are driven underground and put themselves at risk to get the drugs they need to be the person they want to be.
In Chris Tina Foxx Bruce‘s case, she’s transitioned twice- from fit to fabulous! First, she became a 230 lb male bodybuilder and now she’s a 180 lb female fitness guru, 6’4″ in heels!
Listen as Chris from Discover Health and Fitness, talks with us about her extraordinary journey and people struggle understanding steroids, hormones, plastic surgery and body modification.
Plus, trans fitness tips for everyone, her reality TV show in the works, and is the word tranny really a trans taboo word or are we ignoring something much bigger than this

Chris,….
I have a question.
As transgendered bodybuilder why did you lose the weight?
230 to 180 doesnt seem necessary sense there are lesbian Bodybuilders like Heather Darling&Renne Toney who strive for that size
El – I need to lose the weight to obtain a more feminine figure and fascial appearance. I do miss eating 5000 calories a day compared to 2000 now but my knees, back and shoulders are not hurting anymore either.
Chris
Do you think it was the high calories or the heavy lifting that made your back hurt?
Good morning Fausto – I so miss those high calorie days. Nothing better than steak, potatoes, chicken breast, brown rice and that was just breakfast. lol.
It was the heavy lifting for 25 years and the wear and tear that compounds. One thing I learned is to listen to your body and if you are just not feeling right then take a day off or do a heavy rep day.
Thanks again and we you have a moment check out my new Discover Health and Fitness Channel http://www.YouTube.com/ChristinaFoxx69
See ya soon,
Chris Tina Foxx Bruce
Merry Christmas and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.
I am so blessed and thankful for all the supportive and encouraging people in my life therefore, I have decided to run for the US Senate in 2012.
Please help in spreading the love on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.
All of life is a transition; where you are today does not have to define who you will be and together we can cultivate change.
Be Bold, Be Proud, Be Yourself.
