Who are Cool2betrans?

Katie Neeves is a woman on a mission - but not just any woman and not just any mission!  She lived for 48 years as a man while struggling with her gender since the age of 3 and hiding her big secret to the World.  She was thrown into turmoil when her Gender Dysphoria increased dramatically, causing her to go on a voyage of discovery before finally admitting to herself that she is a transgender woman and that she needed to change her body.  

She then came out very publicly via a coming-out video which she posted on her social media and sent to all the clients of her photography and video business, risking her livelihood and reputation in the process.  This was a massive risk, as she had built up a great reputation over 35 years as one of the UK’s top photographers, photographing everything from royalty, to riots and war zones.  She needn’t have worried though, as she was inundated with hundreds of messages of support.  This led to her vlogging about her transition journey in a very open, honest and humorous way, which makes the subject accessible to all.  Her story was picked up in the media and it wasn’t long before she was a regular in the radio and TV studios, becoming a trans ambassador along the way.  

Katie formed Cool2BTrans to support and inspire other trans people and also to educate everyone else on trans issues by showing them that trans people are just ordinary people who want to be happy - just like everyone else.  She helps organisations globally, with diversity and inclusion by providing trans awareness training and inspirational speaking, in an entertaining way by using humour to break down barriers.  

Katie appears regularly in the media and she is on both ITV's and the BBC's lists of experts.   Following her media and public appearances, Katie often provides support to trans people and parents of trans people who get in touch with her asking for help.  Also, she was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce in 2021 for her trans inclusion work.

Participants and audience members will leave Katie’s uplifting talks and training feeling both entertained and educated.  Katie said

“Many people focus on the negative aspects of being trans, but I prefer to approach the subject from a much more positive angle.  I am exactly the same person I was before my transition - but far happier!”

What do participants of Katie's sessions say?

“It was the most exciting training in years” - Deutsche Telekom

“She's one of the most articulate and entertaining people I have seen” - Rhondda Pride
“Her work will change the way people think, behave and will ultimately change the World for sure.” - The Association of Professional Staffing Companies
I personally have never laughed and learnt so much in one hour!” - Virgin Media O2
