Who are you?
Hi, my name is Tate Smith. I'm a trans activist, speaker and legal secretary. Please feel free to ask me anything you like about being transgender.
Can you tell me about yourself?
So my name is Tate. I'm a 23-year-old legal secretary, trans activist, and speaker. I've been transitioning for three and a half years now. I became an activist at the beginning of my transition when I came out in my organisation, and I've been able to shape a speaking career for myself ever since.
What does it mean to be transgender?
It means when your body and your brain aren't in line with one another. So it means when you don't identify with the sex that you were assigned at birth. So your gender identity differs.
