"I was judged so much by my female friends in school for not being like them and not caring about things they care.I think maybe when I was younger,I wished more I could just be like everyone else because then things would be easier.it's not because I have a problem being different. the problem is people's judgmental way of thinking." Frei, 22, is a transgender person.He sensed that he did not feel comfortable with the gender assigned to him at birth and didn't have any idea about being transgender by the time he was 13. Something inside him always felt different. Struggling with depression in his childhood made him feel vulnerable among his peers.It was not until October 2018 that he chose to live as he had always felt; like a man. At 20, he was diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. Transitioning has made him willing to treat his bipolar and to fight united against the stigma. "stigma of being a transgender person definitely exists in Denmark.I do see it in different ways every."
