My name is Noah Wild, and as a trans masculine individual living in the UK, I wanted to take a moment to share a glimpse into my life and experiences.
I began my social transition at the age of 13, during a time when no one in my community had come out as transgender. This journey was both daunting and rewarding. Now, 19 months into my testosterone treatment, I am hopeful about the possibility of undergoing surgery in the next couple of years.
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to play the main character in a queer short film titled Kordh (Clan). This experience is something I am immensely proud of as a trans person, as it allowed me to portray a story that resonates with many in our community.
One of the ways I cope with the challenges of my gender identity is through writing. I have always dreamed of sharing my thoughts and experiences publicly, not only to connect with fellow trans individuals but also to help those who may not fully understand the challenges we face. My hope is that my words can offer visibility and insight into lives that are often underrepresented.
