This year, Married at First Sight UK finally introduced its first-ever openly transgender participant, Ella Morgan. As one of 16 singletons on the show’s eighth season, Ella got hitched to someone mere moments after seeing them for the first time. “No one in their right mind would choose to do something like this,” she says, laughing on a Zoom call with GAY TIMES. “People have to understand that I didn’t ask to be this representative of the community, but I’m not stupid,” Ella explains. Their rights are often framed as a so-called ‘debate’, which rarely include input from trans voices.
