What is life like for a young transgender person?
For a young transgender person, life can often be confusing and difficult because younger people often don't know why they feel the way they do. They might feel these cross gender feelings and not understand why am I different, why am I not like I want to be. It can be confusing and scary and lonely. As things progress, people, especially other children can often be very cruel. It can become quite a cycle of isolation and loneliness. It's something that I really hope as time goes by we can break that cycle by getting more information out there and support, and more role models, because it's very difficult for a young transgender person, and anything I can do to make that easier I hope that I will be able to do.
