Alex is a pansexual & ftm transgender English YouTuber, author, and graphic designer.
In school, Alex experienced bullying for three years because of his perceived non-heterosexuality, and also dealt with depression because of how society treated his gender dysphoria. He engaged in self-harm cutting, but later found relief from an LGBTQ-affirming group, Over the Rainbow, that shared information about transgender people.
Alex originally sought more information about transitioning via YouTube, but after finding little available at the time, he decided to share his own experiences by vlogging his multi-year ftm gender transition on YouTube and also discussed various other lgbtq topics, calling the online sharing his "safe space". After years of struggling for family acceptance, in April 2016 Alex began his hormone replacement treatment. His younger sister embraced his gender transition first, with his parents taking longer to reach that point, but they are now extremely supportive. Alex was also a frequently featured LGBTQ+ panelist for Summer in the City, a gathering for the UK YouTube community in London from 2014 to 2018.
Outside of YouTube, Alex published an autobiography about his transition journey entitled Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard.
