Darwin Kaitiff

I'm Darwin Kaitiff, I came out as nonbinary over 4 years ago, and I'd like to share a poem about the importance of hope for trans people in the UK. I'll also share some of my artwork related to my identity beyond the gender binary and what brings me joy.

Life for me has grown so much more colourful since I came out at the age of 14. The journey to discovering my identity was long and filled with endless experiments but I couldn’t be more happy with where I am now. I have all the hope that in the future I will finally get to a point where I can live freely as myself with no barriers.

I have often explored aspects of myself through my art, whether it be sewing gender affirming clothing or painting in vibrant colours, I realised creating things was an essential part of who I am. I believe that art and creativity is one of the best ways to experiment with what you like and how you want to view yourself and the world around you.
