Local MPS have applauded the bravery of Conservative MP after they came out as trans and said they were raped.
Jamie Wallis, who represents Bridgend and Porthcawl in Wales, took to social media last night following a gathering for Tory MPs to share a personal message with the world. In a statement posted to Twitter, Jamie discloses they were raped, blackmailed and diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The Unionist also touches on how they want to transition into a woman.
In their statement, which was captioned 'it's time', Jamie said: “I’m trans. Or to be more accurate, I want to be. I’ve been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and I’ve felt this way since I was a very young child. I had no intention of ever sharing this with you. I always imagined I would leave politics well before I ever said this out loud.
