A transgender man has praised a Merseyside-based support group for helping him through his transition.
Darius Addams, who lives in the city centre, came out as trans socially when he was 26. Moving from Bristol to the city, Darius saw it as the perfect opportunity for a fresh start and to introduce the world to the real him.
Having grown up not knowing any other trans people and with an increase in transgender hate crimes, the 28-year-old feared what this would mean for him as a trans man. The University of Liverpool student had the support of the gender dysphoria service, CMAGIC.
