I AM IT IS - Maddi

Kindred Surprize's I AM IT IS returns with the amazingly, inspiring Maddi, where we meet up with her at Niche Dance studios.

Maddi transitioned to a girl when she was just 7 years of age. A decision made and supported by her family as they felt it was who she always was and was always meant to be. Now almost 11 she is a proud trans girl, who is also an activist determined to educate all and does this by preparing and delivering powerful speeches at school on wear it purple day, as well as running education programs such as colouring in activities to educate others in what LGBTIQ is.

Maddi openly discusses what she has gone through on the road to transitioning including being bullied and feeling like a girl all her life. Her all time inspiration is Carlotta from Les Girls, Who she had the honour of meeting at Midsumma earlier this year.

Maddi is very much a showgirl in her own right. With a love of dancing and singing, she is able to find a way to express her inner emotions including anger, which she has learnt to deal with.

The interview concludes talking to her Mum, Beck who is also joined by Mum’s Karyn and Meagan from Parents of Gender Diverse Children
.
Having all shared the experience of having young trans children, currently at ages 7-11, these mums share a similar love and drive to support trans children and stand up to make the necessary changes their children are not able to do on their own.

“Parents of Gender Diverse Children” recently met with opposition leader Mr Bill Shorten to seek changes and to be heard as parents of their children. “He seemed to be interested in what we had to say, it’s progress at any rate and is something that needs to be discussed at a political level”

Beck said it was when she started noticing a change in Maddi’s behaviour which was becoming quite aggressive that she knew that there was no choice about the decision to support and allow Maddockk to become Maddi.

“When I caught her hitting herself and she told me that she was trying to get the boy out, I knew then that it was no longer a choice, it was what I needed to do as her mother and something I have never regretted”

Being made an official Sapien ambassador for the people, Maddi was gifted a GUN SHY love heart cushion for her love and work within the community.

A MUDE production, I AM IT IS also features interviews with Dannii Minogue, a Christmas with Karen From Finance and Australia’s own FABORIGINAL comic genius Steven Oliver.
