'Despite all the odds stacked against her as a trans woman with no resources, April made it. She made a life for herself – and a good life at that.'| ✍️ Charlie_Craggs
April Ashley was a successful model in the 60s, appearing in Vogue, before her story was sold to The Sunday People and it emerged that she was a trans woman It wasn’t necessarily the book I picked, it was just one of the only books I had to choose from. That’s because back in 2013, we didn’t have the trans representation we have now. We didn’t really have any at all.
I began reading April’s story about her transition when I began my own. For me, it all started on my rough council estate in Ladbroke Grove, which wasn’t the funnest place to be trans. Her story then told of how she fled Liverpool in a bid to secure her future, and some form of safety for herself. Another parallel I – and I think most trans people, especially marginalised, whether working class like me, or of colour, of faith – feel they have to do too.Despite all the odds stacked against her as a trans woman with no resources, April made it. She made a life for herself – and a good life at that.
Forgive me for saying this, April – if you’re listening from heaven – but you are more of a man than that spineless little toe rag ever was.April had to endure the pain of having all of her personal business being splattered all over the press as her case played out in the public eye, as well as the pain – both emotional and physical – of having her vagina inspected by numerous doctors to determine whether she was or wasn’t a woman.
