Sophie Reid-Singer has a doctorate in visual arts, but pursuing this passion is no longer her life goal.
"I can make as many empowering artworks as I want for the rest of my life, but until the law is changed, I'm going to continue to be discriminated against," the 26-year-old said.
Dr Reid-Singer was diagnosed with a congenital bone disease called spondylometaphseal dysplasia, Kozlowski type, at two years old.
