Coming out…
“I wanted to control the narrative and tell my story in my own way. So I chose Coming Out Day.”
Trans inclusion in sports…
“I don’t have any advantage over my competitors and I’ve got data to back that up.”
Her mission…
“I want to inspire people and help people through their journey to be who they are, and try to act as a bit of a role model.”
