'Baby Reindeer' Star Nava Mau on Becoming a Trans Advocate

A Long And Winding Journey To Self Acceptance

As Nava Mau, the nonbinary star of the Australian TV series Baby Reindeer, spoke about their experience as a role model for the trans community, they reflected on their difficult journey towards self-acceptance. Nava’s childhood was spent in a conservative religious community that did not accept gender nonconformity. They internalized this message, leading to years of self-denial and depression. In their early 20s, Nava began to question their gender identity. They found solace in online forums and support groups where they connected with other trans people. This helped them to finally accept their true self and come out as nonbinary.

Using Their Platform To Speak Out

Nava has since gone on to use their platform as a public figure to advocate for transgender rights. They have spoken about their experiences with discrimination and violence, and have worked to raise awareness about the challenges faced by trans people. Nava believes that their role as an advocate is an important one, but it is also demanding. They often face backlash from people who do not understand or accept their identity. Despite the challenges, Nava is determined to continue using their voice to speak out for trans rights. They are passionate about creating a more inclusive world where all people can feel safe and accepted for who they are.

An Inspiration For Others

Nava's journey towards self-acceptance and their advocacy for transgender rights is an inspiration to many. They have shown that it is possible to overcome adversity and live an authentic life. Nava's work is helping to create a more inclusive world for all. "I want to help create a world where everyone can feel safe and accepted for who they are, no matter what their gender identity or expression is," Nava said. "I hope that by sharing my story, I can help others to feel less alone and more hopeful about the future."
