As a female-to-male transgender person, my production piece was created to celebrate my one year on testosterone on the 21st December 2018. I wanted to reflect on how far Ive come and what I have achieved over the last few years. I did this by writing a letter to my 14 year old self, who struggled a lot with bullying, self esteem issues and with my sexuality and gender. I did not think I would make it to 16, let alone be attending university. The piece is to show people that, although this day is just like any other day in the year, there is an underlying celebration and reflection happening and that things do get better. Transgender people each have their own unique story, this one is mine.
