A Liverpool student resorted to using his university loans to help him begin his transitioning journey.
Jack Evans, from Huyton, decided to pay privately £800 for "life-changing" hormone treatment in order to begin living life as his true authentic self. The 21-year-old felt he had no other option but to do so after seeing the length of NHS waiting lists.
To help with the burden of costs, Jack began working as a Covid-19 Marshall at his university but now has changed roles to a student ambassador giving tours to prospective students and helping out with open days in order to save more money.
