Description
Munroe Bergdorf invites Abby Hollick for a Duvet Day on her sofa. She explains how she’s learnt to love her bedroom again after the trauma of sexual assault, but why it’s still off limits for visitors. She describes growing up in the middle of nowhere and not fitting it, being bullied for being effeminate at school, and being written off by her teachers. The model, DJ and activist opens up about how she finally learnt that being trans doesn’t mean you can’t be happy, deciding who she wants to be and how learning to talk about her feelings has helped in her recovery from an eating disorder. Plus, she explains why she’s fed up with explaining how people can be better allies to the trans community.
