Aydin Kennedy is a 34-year-old social worker and student who lives in Chico, where he likes to ride his bike, play with his dogs Rylee and Olivia, root for Stanford women's basketball, lift weights and mow the lawn. His wife, Christia Currie-Kennedy, likes that he's courageous, funny and cute. The two hope to start a family soon.
You wouldn't know it from looking at him, but three years ago Aydin was a woman. Had you met him then, you would have seen a tall, slender, attractive and athletic-looking woman who wore men's clothing and had cropped curly hair, olive skin, and striking blue eyes.
