  • Summary

  • Over the last few years we’ve all become more used to seeing trans issues dominate the headlines. The discussion has become part of our political discourse in which decision-makers are using it to create debate and sometimes even division. In such instances, trans people have been portrayed in a negative way, with the conversation around trans issues becoming incredibly heated and toxic.

    Any trans person in the public spotlight undoubtedly has to face the challenges and attention that currently surround this issue. Jake and Hannah Graf know that more than most. As the UK’s most visible trans couple, their journey has been widely followed and publicised and they have had to put up with intense scrutiny of their relationship.

    But for them it’s about changing the narrative around trans issues and showing they, like so many others, just want to go about their lives without fear or judgement. Sharing their story on the ITV Pridecast, they chat to Liam McConkey about working to champion the rights of the trans community and the wider LGBTQ+ community.

    During the episode they talk about how they both individually went through their transitions and what life was like when they were finally able to be their true selves. Hannah discusses coming out as one of the highest ranking transgender soldiers in the British Army and Jake chats about being a film director, writer and actor and having starred in films like The Danish Girl.

    They both also talk about the joys of getting married as well as having their two young daughters and showing the rest of society they can live an ordinary life like anyone else. You can find out more about some of the work Jake and Hannah do by going to their website www.jakeandhannahgraf.com
