'Living my true gender led me to lose four stone and finally find my happiness'

"Walk in my shoes for a good few years and come back and see me."

These are the words of Chloe Meadows, a 24-year-old trans woman from the Rhondda. Her message is off the back of years of bullying and abuse she has faced for being herself.

Chloe always knew she was Chloe - from as young as age two or three. When she was a child she always questioned why she didn't have long hair like her friends but she said it wasn't until she was an adult that she gained the understanding of her feelings and the confidence to start living her true self.
