Parent spent most of life 'feeling out of place' before discovery

A parent has opened up on how exploring gender felt like “a puzzle falling into place” for them.

Ley Adler, the owner of Little Bears Fudgery, spent most of their life “feeling out of place”, that was until four years ago when they came across the term non-binary. The 42-year-old quickly realised it summarised how they “always felt”. Shortly after the initial discovery, when they were feeling “settled and secured” with their husband, Ley began to explore their identity “properly”.

Ley explained their husband knew about their sexuality and “accepted it fully”, and it was he who helped “everything click into place” after he sent Ley a song which summed up perfectly how they were feeling.
