I only know who they are due to DD watching their make up videos. They were on BBC 3s Glow Up program as a guest judge.
Apparently they were being blackmailed and so came out in a video, which is a bit shit for them.

I like their attitude in terms of saying 'I'm just me', but it's the same old sexist stereotypes being trotted out about wanting to play with make-up and barbies and not wanting to wear trousers that convinced them they were really a 'girl'. Also sounds like their mother really wanted a girl and Nikki was psychologically damaged by that.

I wonder if she knows the blackmailers, it must have been an awful position to be put in.

Nobody should ever be put in the position of having to divulge something personal and private.

I watched her coming out video - she handled it incredibly well. I particularly liked her saying to her blackmailers "this one's for you".

I thought it was interesting that she doesn't believe in labels, that 'I am just me' - more people need to think like this and not try to compel speech or trample on rights. More Nikkies and fewer Stephanies are needed.

I really like Nikki. She’s very talented. Good luck to her.

Good for her - how terrible that she felt forced to announce it
