I was 30 when I realised I was trans and non-binary but wish I had been supported to be myself a lot sooner.
At 11 years old, transphobic and homophobic slurs were directed towards me daily. I was ridiculed for looking like a boy and called a lesbian, despite not even knowing what it meant. It breaks my heart that 25 years on, Just Like Us revealed that 78 per cent of trans students are still being bullied in the UK in today.
The reason I became a trans and non-binary educator and advocate was to be the voice I needed to hear and the role model I needed to see when I was at school.
