I am a trans-woman who grew up in a religious environment and never had the choice as a child to leave home and live the life I needed to live. I have suffered terribly ever since and, only recently, decades later, have I begun the slow process of transition.
I do not want others to suffer as I have, have their lives robbed from them or face homelessness.
Fully funded places at boarding schools would make it easier for children aged 16+ to choose to leave obstructive homes and live the life of their choice.
