Trans Activism & Poetry with Jay Hulme

Duration: 27 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

Presenter Isy Suttie talks to the fantastic Jay Hulme about coming out as transgender, advising NHS staff about transgenderism, and how performing his poetry in Parliament made MPs cry.
When Jay was growing up he always knew he didn’t feel quite right in his body but it wasn’t until his teenage years that he realised he was a trans male. He found poetry was his medium for expressing his experiences as a transgender man and at 17 won the highly coveted teen poetry competition ‘Slambassadors’. Since then he’s continued to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and is working to make being a trans teen better for the next generation. This is how Jay changed his world… #ChangeYourWorld Show less
