“If I can help someone realise that trans people are just normal human beings like everyone else,with the same hopes and dreams,(and) just help dial down some of the real hate and division at the moment,that would be incredible. It would be even more of an honour to show a young person who might be scared of coming out that everything’s going to be OK and everything that they want in life can come true.” [7] [8] [9]
