Being from Bridgend where there was a very small queer community, things have not always been smooth sailing for the south Wales actor Rhys Taylor, who came out publicly just four years ago. They had always known they were non-binary, but had not known how to relay this to others for a long time.
Things are now looking up for Rhys, who is now taking the steps to get the gender affirming care they have wanted for so long by undergoing laser hair removal. Working in an industry where feeling good about yourself is key, Rhys is hoping their gofundme page can help them finish the process, as well as support the costs of a hair transplant.
The actor and comedy writer has had a whirlwind acting career so far, having appeared in the hit musical Everyone's Talking About Jamie as the character Tray Sophistica and is currently performing in the cast of Eugenius at the Turbine Theatre near Battersea Power Station. They have also been in the musical Millenials, the West End's Book of Mormon and in season four of Bad Education.
