Notes

Charlie -17 I knew I was trans in February 2015, and I decided on my name change in the September of the same year. However, it wasn't until a year later that I found the courage to come out to my mum but even then I didn't really have courage in that part of myelf. I guess in a way wearing this every-day helped me get how scare I was of people finding out I was trans, as it being round my wrist everyday meant anyone could see it, at anytime. It took a while but I can now say I'm very pround to be trans! [smiley face] [drawing of a cat]
