💨 Abstract

Lars Fellows, the first transgender man on the UK's gay dating show "I Kissed A Boy," shared his journey and experiences. Despite initial fears and potential backlash, he participated to represent himself and the trans community. Lars faced transphobic trolling but focused on the positive support he received. The show helped him gain self-acceptance and confidence, and he found the experience rewarding, bonding with fellow contestants in a supportive environment.
