BOOT ROOM
When I arrived with Mummy I got to leave my dead name behind and write my real name on the board.
Ali and Arthur at the big desk welcomed us. I felt shy but they used my real name and I felt better.
We waited on the big steps for Jacob to explain what we could do next.
Jacob told us about the different areas inside Authentic Human, Jacob said that we could GO and EXPLORE! But that if we needed anything we could always ask or leave any area at anytime if we wanted. I was excited to explore.
THE WORKSHOPS THE KITCHEN In the Creators Quarter I could make my own room just the way I liked. There were lots of drawers I could pull out, and if I didn’t like the colour I could push it back in and pull out another. I found lots of things to play with that made me feel like a boy. I really liked it.
I found Mummy, Daddy and Freya in the kitchen with lots of other families. We had lunch all together.
At the table I sat next to Finn and we laughed lots, Finn was here with his family too. He is like me, he used to be called something else but now he is Finn.
Upstairs you can see everyone down below. It’s fun to look at what everyone is doing. I also chose which path I wanted to walk along. Alex changed the direction of the arrows when he walked along the path.

In the workshop Arlo told us that he is transgender too. I liked Arlo. I also got to make a bear picture because that’s my favourite animal.
I made my room again, this time I wanted to have red and orange walls.
In the story boxes I spoke with Charlotte and Dad about not being a boy anymore, it felt nice.
At the end of the day everyone sat on the steps and the carpet to watch a film. I felt happy.
