Married At First Sight UK‘s Ella Morgan, who has joined the cast of Snow White and the Seven Drag Queens in Brighton, has shared a defiant message to anti-trans trolls as she opened up about her own transition.
The reality star, 30, took to Instagram with a slew of throwback snaps and explained that she’d ‘always been a girl’ and now her outside appearance matched how she felt on the inside.
Ella shared snaps of photos as a child, alongside her supportive family and as a music fan meeting celebs including Rihanna and Alexandra Burke.
Marvelling at the journey she said that while some people would never understand the issue, all she asked was for respect after being ‘born in the wrong body’.
Ella, who became Married at First Sight and Celebs Go Dating‘s first ever trans participant, penned in an emotional captioned: ‘A reminder to myself on a day I’m not feeling great, I remember how far I’ve come on this crazy journey called life, I’m so proud of myself and also little Evan,

‘And that in a world where you can be kind, remember you can also be ANYTHING (anything is possible, don’t give up), be LOVED and be AUTHENTICALLY YOURSELF I’ve always been Ella inside …’.
‘Sometimes I inspire myself, like girl you went through all that & kept going (and always did it with a smile) You had to be that person to become this one’.
She went on: ‘Being transgender is not just a medical transition or about surgery and the way you look. It’s discovering who you are, being brave and strong, living your life authentically,’
‘Loving yourself inside and out, and spreading that love towards other people and accepting one another, no matter the difference ‘.
‘Some people will never get it, or understand. And that’s fine. All I ask for is respect weather you get it or not. I am simply a girl who was born in the wrong body’.
Before adding: ‘My outside now matches how I’ve always felt inside. I didn’t want to become a girl – I AM and have always been a girl’.
The trans activist recently found love with boyfriend Alex James Ali, after sparking up a connection on Celebs Go Dating.
