The setup goes well, all up and ready to go with time to spare. Now the nerves are starting to kick in, and the gates open, oh crap, I'm actually going to have to speak to people I've never met before.

Hi everyone, my name is Sophie Kelly, and I'm a 52-year-old trans-woman living in rural Ireland.

A few weeks ago, much to my surprise and amazement, I was lucky enough to be crowned Miss Transliving International 2023 at the Transliving Eastbourne weekend. I had entered this pageant previously in 2018, and it was such great fun that I decided to take part again this year - but with no expectation at all of success.

For so many months in 2020, we've had to stay at home, away from other people, unable to socialise and party, filling those long days with those long overdue and often tedious tasks. For some, it would have provided time and an opportunity to dress up. For others, a deep frustration at not being able to, whilst trapped at home with family and roommates. ...
