SUMMARY:Wolfenden Lecture: Our Trans Lives: Life\, Love and Lorraine
DESCRIPTION:Join Jake & Hannah Graf where they will discuss everything from their transgender lives through to Lorraine Kelly’s sofa! \nIn 2013 Hannah came out as a transgender woman and became the highest ranking transgender soldier within the British Army. \nJake Graf transitioned in 2008\, and after a lifetime of searching for positive representations of trans people onscreen\, Jake wrote\, directed and starred in his first film ‘XWHY’. \nJake and Hannah met in December 2015\, and knew from their first date that they had a future together. Balancing Hannah’s military postings with Jake’s London based film career\, the pair have learnt to deeply value their time together\, their relationship growing stronger as a result. \nThey got engaged in New York in September 2017\, Jake proposing on Central Park Lake. A small\, intimate wedding took place in London in March 2018\, the couple surrounded by family and friends. \nThey are virtually inseparable: both patrons of the Mermaids charity\, Hannah frequently working on Jake’s films and media requests for them as a couple now commonplace. The pair were listed at joint number 10 on this year’s Guardian Pride Power List and have become something of an inspiration to the international transgender community\, seizing every opportunity to increase acceptance and understanding of the transgender experience. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.
