Hello!

This is Harrison Browne. He's a trans man, activist, actor, former pro, and the first openly transgender athlete in professional hockey. He came out in 2016 when he played for the now-defunct NWHL's Buffalo Beauts. The same season he came out, he went on to win the NWHL's Isobel Cup championship. A year later, he did it again. When he retired in order to medically transition, he retired as a champion.

In 1726, when William Brown was on trial for attempted sodomy in London, he didn't say "I was born this way", he said, "“I think there is no crime in making what use I please of my own body”.

In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen didn't say, "A woman can do anything a man can do!", she said, God created men and women with different humours and having too much of the male elements will throw society out of balance.

In the 1860s, Millicent Garrett Fawcett didn't say, "Women are just as smart as men", she said, Men get to vote no matter how dumb they are.

These are how some of those friends and neighbours spoke as character witnesses for her:

Mary Poplet - “I never heard that she had any other Name than the Princess Seraphina.”

Mary Ryler - “Sometimes we call her Princess, and sometimes Miss”.
