Biography
Matt Ellison is a thought-provoking transgender campaigner and speaker. His insights, as someone who has made a huge and fundamental change, apply to many areas of professional and personal life.
Matt appeared in the Channel 4 documentary Me and My Penis, which broke many taboos, covering sex, psychology, and men’s mental health issues. He was co-chair of FTM London (FTM = Female-to-Male) and has also engaged with NHS England to help improve trans care and is knowledgeable on safe practices for trans people and the Gender Recognition Act.
While considering his personal experiences is at the core of Matt's work, he believes his story connects more widely. With lessons covering resilience and purpose, his insights relate to anyone seeking to simply live a more fulfilling life. He shares what it feels like to be transgender with a story full of highs, lows and humour. He sensitively and engagingly educates audiences around medical interventions, social aspects, safe practices for service providers and employers, as well the legal implications of the Gender Recognition Act. Matt helps individuals and organisations connect, change and embrance diversity and inclusivity.
"The audience loved Matt. He is incredibly genuine and open and this really connects an audience to him."
Matt was a legend – absolutely brilliant talk and huge amounts of positive feedback from around the business. We are truly grateful that Matt was able to come and talk and share his journey so openly, with genuine vulnerability and a beautiful smattering of humour thrown in.
