00:00It's a heavy weight to be Monroe Burgdorf.

00:05The expectations, the pressure.

00:08But I think that's something you should honour.

00:13I feel like I've got different families.

00:16Hello, Mummy.

00:17My birth family and my chosen family.

00:21When I was younger, I didn't want to be queer.

00:24It was extremely lonely.

00:26Dysphoria puts you into a prison of your own body.

00:31As soon as I got to the city, I was like, wow.

00:33Everything just changed.

00:37I met other trans people.

00:41It was just unconditional love.

00:45Back then, there was a significant shift in trans acceptance.

00:52I was getting modelling jobs.

00:54I could, you know, throw a look.

01:01And then that level of influence got higher and higher.

01:05As great as it was,

01:09the takedown was ten times worse.

01:13In the eyes of the media, she could do nothing right.

01:46I'm not going to give up.

01:49Monroe Bergdorf, activist, model, writer and broadcaster.

01:55Thank you for your voice, for your courage.

01:58Monroe can do it, I can do it.

01:59I'm not willing to live a life broken.

02:11Love and rage.
