Please, please, please follow government advice and stay home.

Protect yourselves and those around you.

The wonderful key workers and NHS all need our support right now, so please don’t put them or yourself at risk.

This too shall pass – and when it does WE WILL PARTY!!!

Stay safe and don’t forget to  TURN IT INTO LOVE!

Monday 16th March

As the governments official stance on social distancing has confirmed that it is now essential to avoid contact with others, which includes the avoidance of pubs, clubs, theatres and other social gatherings – it is inevitable that shows will be rescheduled and in some instances cancelled as required.

Like everyone I feel very strongly about this and I will not put myself, my family, and my audience at risk in this current environment.

Updates will be posted here and on Hazells social media.

We will be constantly reviewing the situation and following government advice going forward throughout this crisis.

Over the past few weeks I have become aware of a dramatic increase in negative reporting in the press, on social media, and sadly from some high profile individuals, aimed at the transgender community.

As a trans lady messaged me “We are getting it from all angles” This makes me sad, and very angry.

I keep saying – Being yourself should never be a battle, but let me take this opportunity to say, loud and clear Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Non Binary exists.

OK, you may not understand what it means to be trans or non binary, and I  myself am on a steep learning curve,  I don’t always get pronouns right, but I am trying.

A lack of knowledge does not excuse hostility. It is never right to discriminate.

Educate yourself. Be inclusive. Let people live their authentic lives  – it isn’t difficult.

I AM A TRANS ALLY – Always, Hazell xxx
