Big people: Clayton, Kylie, Michelle
Little people: Cooper, Bella and Charlotte.

Recently, Michelle and Clayton had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Bella, a lovely, energetic and inspiring young 10 year old.

What is unique about Bella is not that she fights with her siblings, or that she loves shopping nor that she wants to learn gymnastics but the fact that she came out to her family as trans at age of 6.

For many reasons this was not the easiest interview: the duo were mindful of not wanting to push for sensationalism or drama, yet wanting to hear in Bella’s own words what makes her life good, bad and everything in between.

At points throughout the interview Kylie, Bella’s mum, joins us and helps clarify some of the discussion.

Bella’s brother and sister, Cooper and Charlotte, were a giggle as they shared some of their own experiences and feelings.

This is a very special episode, with a rare opportunity to speak with someone so young, with poignant moments and simple ones too, but above all one that Stand Up Straight is extremely proud to present to our listeners.
