Aiden Vasquez is a transgender man who lived 48 years with depression, self loathing, and suicidal tendencies. In 2016, he had top surgery and started his life on testosterone as an attempt to save his own life. This is a decision that he has never regretted. February 16, 2026 will be his 10 year anniversary on testosterone. In 2019 Aiden, backed by the ACLU, entered into a lawsuit against the State of Iowa, DHS, and Governor Kim Reynolds, fighting for the right to have gender affirming care and for the civil rights of all the other transgender Iowans. They won in 2023 after the Iowa Supreme Court agreed that lack of insurance funding was a violation of civil rights.
Aiden owns and runs 4 Facebook groups. His passion is helping parents, family members, and friends, who support other transgender people. He mentors families and literally saves and changes lives. He advocates for the rights of others through various speaking engagements and live videos on Facebook, just to mention a few ways.
In 2022, Aiden received the LGBTQ Legacy Leadership Award that was hosted and awarded by DSM Magazine in Des Moines, Iowa. An award given to specifically members of the LGBTQ community and their supporters. The award honors lifetime achievements, highlights leadership and community service, people who inspire others, and works towards making Iowa more inclusive and connected.
