Visibility is a trap but someone’s gotta do it… Feels weird to see this day alongside the word “happy” , when we all know that the Trans experience (especially when associated with visibility) is nothing of the sort. I’ve still got a lot of PTSD from points in my career when I’ve been hyper-visible as a Trans person. I mean, for a good two years I was the face of transphobia towards Trans men in the UK for competing in Mr Gay UK. Nothing about that experience was “happy”…. Nothing about the way Briana Ghey’s life ended was “happy”. Nothing about the laws coming into harm us, or the debates implying we’re groomers are “happy”… But damn, I fucking love being Trans. Thank you to all the Trans people in my life - your mere existence enriches me, and saves me from a life of limited boring binary paths. I wouldn’t change being Trans for the fuckin world. Visibility is hard. Take a moment today and thank the Trans people that make existing just that little bit easier x Ps. More Trans male visibility so everyone can stop assuming our biggest problem is binding pls.

Woah… I am SUCH a lucky boy! ANOTHER WEST END STAGE BBY!!! 🎭✨ Thank you from the bottom of my heart to @sashavelour for coming to the big loud city of London, and choosing their dirtiest mutt to hop on stage with.

Lost in Kusadasi 🇹🇷 What a treat to be able to bring my mum to the country that brought me tranquility during one of the worst times of my life. I came to Turkiye a year and a half ago having just been left to handle an abortion on my own. I was a drunk. An addict. And a deeply troubled person. At the time I was carrying so much trauma and I genuinely could not see a life beyond taking it one hour at a time. A chaos breakup from a toxic relationship that revolved around alcohol, drugs, and work, left me with no friends and lost me the brunch residency that kept a roof over my head. Despite all this, I knew one day I just had to bring my mum here. I knew she would fall in love with Turkiye the same way I did. But in order to do that, I had to get my life together. I got back from Turkiye and hit rock bottom one last time before I got sober. Something had to change. 1.5 years later and he's 500+ days sober. I'm so grateful to recovery for giving me the tools to make new friends, get stuck into community, and change my mum's life by being an all-round better son, and taking her on a boat for the first time ever 🥹 Its true what they say about everything happening for a reason. The darkest times of your life will shape you into a resilient loving BADDIE. I don't like to put my mum online bc im still reeling from doxxing that happened when I was doing Mr Gay UK - but that video of our shadows walking brings a tear to my eye x I fuxking love my mum and I will always regret the years I spent pleading for romantic love when I had unconditional love around me all along x Big up to anyone who actually reads the captions xx

500 DAYS OFF HARD DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. 500 days since I felt I had to make a choice between being sober, and being believed. 500 days since I vowed I would never return to hospital under the circumstances of suicide attempts ever again. 500 days since I began to realise the things you said about me weren't true. I am not disgusting. I am not useless. I do not have the brain of a child. I am capable, resilient, beautiful man that deserves loves despite his quirks. In fact, its his quirks that make him special. Since going sober I've achieved things I never even dreamed I was capable of. I'm carving out spaces for people who look like me and my last 5 self-produced shows have sold out. I have friendships that feel real, and not like they revolve around benders and getting drunk at brunch. I am better son, friend, and Dad to my doggo. Meanwhile... you? The abusive ex and the friends who chose alcohol over conflict resolution and progress? Well... you're still ripping my face off posters 1.5 years later lol x Thank you to the real ones for the memories. These last 500 days have been the happiest I've ever been. I've done 100 days of ice baths. Completed the Hard 75. Ran a half marathon for Palestine. Sold out 5/5 shows. Taught myself to DJ. Taught myself to handstand. Started producing club nights. And most importantly, I've remembered who the fuck I am x
