I\u2019m delighted to say I\u2019m a trans woman; my name is Abigail and you can refer to me with she\/her [pronouns]. Thank you to everyone who kept my secret for such a long time as I prepared to come out publicly! I\u2019m excited to continue my acting career and Philosophy Tube. Please respect my privacy and treat everyone with kindness and patience, even those who don\u2019t treat me kindly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And she added more, too:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s lovely to finally relax, to sleep well with sweet dreams and be at home in myself! But I\u2019m also scared. Things are very, very bad for trans people in the UK and they\u2019re getting worse. My existing following means I have now instantly become one of the most recognizable transgender people in the country and I feel an enormous pressure to be \u2018good at it\u2019 like if I could only be clever enough, or pretty or funny or articulate enough, things would magically come right! Alas. I can\u2019t be a perfect paragon of trans Britain. I\u2019m only an actress but I can relay the following facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow!
