About the Organiser,

My name's Aliyna, I'm a trans woman in her late 20's.
This project initially started as a way to express myself. I was feeling a lot and was mulling over the question 'what would have helped me the most with my transition when I was younger?'

While more readily available access to HRT would have been nice, what would have helped me out more was awareness. Growing up I had barely heard about trans people, they simply weren't something I was conscious of at the time. There are so many points in my life where I feel like something would've clicked if I had only know that was a thing you could be. And even when I became aware of trans people, it was under the understanding that they were 'born this way', that they had inherently know about this feeling since they  were four or something. So when I began questioning anything about myself my conclusion about transness was that it simply couldn't be that because I hadn't 'always' felt this way. I'm sure some people who transitioned later in life may understand this feeling. If i knew then what I know now, I would have started down this road a lot sooner.
