Michaela is a reluctant activist, lingerie model, and an open book with surgical scars and laser burns on the pages.
A proud transgender and transexual woman, Michaela doesn’t chase palatability. Her activism and modelling oozes the raw honesty of someone who knows erasure by name.
Her blog The Reluctant Activist unpicks the science and politics of sex and gender with scalpel-sharp clarity, while her kink-positive modelling dares to show that trans women can be both desired and in control of their own narrative.
Michaela isn’t here to be quietly tolerated. She’s here to be seen and heard.
