Ambassador Alert: Alex!

For anyone following us on Instagram, you'll probably have noticed that we've recruited ourselves some ambassadors - well we thought it was time we all got to know them a little better. Let's get things started with the fabulous Alex :)

BWD: Who are ya and what's your vibe?

Alex: I’m Alex, I’m a 24 year old transgender man. I document my transition, most recently my first stage of phalloplasty (surgery to create a penis) on my Instagram. I’m very shy, but friendly. I’m pretty easy-going, creative and silly :p

BWD: What's your most random hobby/interest?

Alex: Oooh, tough question! I’m not sure if this counts but I’m the proud daddy of 13 ratties, 2 hammys and a shorkie pup! I love my babies and also run another Instagram to show them off 😂 @the_harker_horde. Otherwise, some of my other interests are musicals, astrophotography, dinosaurs, sharks, tattoos, good food and movies 🎥

BWD: What does the LGBTQA+ community mean to you?

 

Alex: The LGBTQA+ community makes me feel like I’m a part of something, I feel safe and happy to be authentically myself within the community. I love being a part of a community that is fighting for the future to be brighter and who celebrate differences in people.

BWD: Who is your favourite local performer?

BWD: If you could make one change in the world, what would it be?

Alex:I would reform education, make all schools more inclusive of LGBTQA+ people in sex education and in general, it can be a scary world as a young kid who knows they’re different and if we teach kids that’s it’s ok to be different when they’re young and open-minded then hopefully they’ll turn into open-minded adults who will carry on the cycle. I’d also have schools teach real life skills like tax, mortgages and managing money so that they’re prepared for life after education.
