Charlotte Reid sensed they were different in high school but kept those feelings hidden. ‘Back when I was growing up there wasn’t as much of an understanding about the LGBTIQA+ community as much is there is now. I really didn’t have the words or know the terminology to express what I was feeling. I just thought I was weird,’ Charlotte said. ‘Then for me as an adult, declared legally blind at 12, coming out as transgender… it was a sense of whether I die or live as who I really am. I chose to live as who I really am.’
