Openly lesbian WA Senator-elect Louise Pratt’s partner of two years, Aram Hosie (the WA Gender Project President), has spoken out about his transition from female to male through gender reassignment surgery, in the West Australian this week. After an 18-month ‘transition’, Hosie, 25, has avoided speaking publicly in fear of negative responses, until now.
“I spent half my life trying really hard to be a girl – to wear the pretty dresses … and never managed to do it right because it never ever felt right and it just doesn’t come to me naturally,” said Hosie. “Once my body finally matches up with my inside, all the pretending finally stops and everything clicks.”
