‘Sometimes I inspire myself, as a girl, you went through all that and kept going (and always did it with a smile). You had to be that person to become this.”
She continued, “Being transgender isn’t just about medical transition or surgery and the way you look. It is discovering who you are, being courageous and strong, living your life authentically’
“Loving yourself, inside and out, and spreading that love to other people and accepting each other, no matter the difference.”
“Some people will never understand or understand it. And that’s fine. All I ask is respect, whether you get it or not. I’m just a girl born in the wrong body.’
Before adding, “My outside now matches how I’ve always felt inside. I didn’t want to be a girl – I AM and have always been a girl’.

When Strictly hunk Bobby Brazier met Ella at an awards ceremony earlier this year, there was hope they would start dating.
But in September, Bobby rejected her advances when she appeared to attempt to revive things at the National Television Awards.
The pair, who were first introduced in May when the 21-year-old, who plays Freddie Slater in Eastenders, was spotted locking lips with Ella at the TV Baftas.
And at the raucous after-party, held in the O2’s American Express Lounge, the Ella came at the actor again, but this time Bobby was “not having any of it”, according to a fellow reveler.
An onlooker revealed the ‘cringe’ moment to MailOnline: ‘Ella was keen to show off her dress to Bobby and was clearly hoping sparks would fly again, but Bobby wasn’t interested and gave her the cold shoulder.
‘He was polite but firmly rejected any suggestion that the pair would enjoy themselves drunk again.
“Bobby apologized before darting across the room and hiding from Ella.”

Ella said of her feud with Bobby: ‘We had a good time but now I’m putting everything into it. Yes, we are friendly. Bobby is a sweet boy and we get along very well. He knows I’m doing this show.’
Recently, Bobby, the son of television presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Big Brother star Jade Goody, was spotted kissing X Factor star Virginia Hampson, also 21, while he was believed to be single on the streets of London.
After last year’s Strictly, in which he was a finalist, Bobby was seen with Ellie Leach, who won the glitterball. However, sources close to both parties claim that they were always just good friends.
Bobby won the prestigious rising star award at the NTAs last year and became something of a national treasure when he appeared on Strictly.
