Trans experience
-
-
“Generally I identify as a girl, although some days I’m a little bit kind of not, so just like 97% girl or something”
-
“In the future it will become a lot easier to be yourself”
-
“My school had a Stonewall award and I ended up running the LGBTQ+ group, so it was really great and really good fun. All of my teachers were completely supportive of me”
-
“I do have a lot of transgender and gay friends. Sometimes I do talk to them about stuff like this, because I want to learn more. I want to make sure I understand it”
-
“I realised the things that made me identify as one or the other, were inherently really sexist“
-
“Although I identify as male, I still quite like wearing feminine clothes”
-
“I took a long time to figure out exactly what my gender was and I’d been questioning it for a very long time”
-
“You could scream anything from the top of your lungs about your sexuality, or acceptance and everyone would probably just yell ‘Cool!’ back”
-
“It kind of changes how people think about you and how they act around you”
-
“Sometimes I feel like I want to wear more feminine clothing, but mostly I wear masculine clothes to present how I’d like my pronouns to be”
-
“I have to consider passing as male, so I don’t get horrifically mis-gendered everyday”
-
“There were so many other people that I could relate to there.”
-
“I want it to change that people don’t label people as soon as they see them”
-
“My friends are completely accepting”
-
“I thought I might try out male pronouns and that felt right”
