Alyce Schotte, the Senior Relationship Manager at ACON Pride in Diversity, is a formidable champion for change in the Western Australian community, especially for those of a diverse sexual orientation or gender identity.
A woman with a transgender experience, Alyce’s pursuit to find her authentic self was a journey that began in her childhood in the regional town of Katanning, and one that continued into adulthood for many years.
“Growing up in a country town in the 80’s, I knew I was different, but aside from the feeling, I had no exposure to any language or knowledge surrounding what it meant to have gender diversity in my identity. I followed a path well-travelled and endured the emotional toll to the precipice of my resilience threshold.”
