Aydian Dowling, 27, is leading the poll to be on the cover of the reader's issue of Men's Health. Fusion reports that Dowling has seen a huge wave of support for his campaign to be on the cover. If he makes it, he'll be the first trans man to be a cover model for the major publication.

He's had Tumblr posts blow up, one of his YouTube videos has over 250,000 views, and a shoot he did with FTM magazine went viral. Currently, Dowling has double the votes of the second place contestant.

Dowling is very serious about his fitness and believes he embodies the "fit and fearless, a doer who gives back and leads by example" style that the Men's Health contest is looking for. Dowling admits he's worried he might get disqualified for being trans, but as of now the magazine has only acknowledged the attention and support Dowling is getting. You can vote for him here.
