tough but important to talk about, especially in a week that has brought up so much ire around women in comedy. Thank you Marc Horne for speaking to me

Super to see Reece Lyons here speaking out about transphobia in the casting process.
(We cast @reecelyons_ as Rosalind in our Shakespeare-inspired Fierce Sisters mimbre.co.uk/portfolio_page/… in 2018 so we're not completely free of this criticism ourselves!)

Theatre industry, do your thing and blow this post up! Cis people — listen up, or catch me outside!

Since coming forward publicly, I have received private messages from multiple women and other sexual minorities, sharing their experiences with this individual.
I won't share details to respect their privacy, but I encourage others to come forward, if they feel safe to do so.
In light of recent conversations surrounding a newly released Netflix show, I have decided to come forward and share my experience with this individual throughout the casting process.
Please read the thread below for further context.

But believe me when I say, not getting the role might just end up being the best thing that ever happened to you.
