Ruby
In 2015, after accessing mental health support, Ruby began to realise she was transgender. She came out to her friends and family and started transitioning, presenting more and more as female, and she now presents as female full-time. Her transition brought about a new confidence that saw her start performing at local competitions and open mics, culminating in lip-syncing for Graham Norton in the grand final of one of Europe’s biggest Lip Sync competitions and singing live on stage at one of Europe’s biggest trans Pride events.
What does your identity mean to you?
My identity is the chance to express my true inner self and be accepted and supported for who I am.
