Former rugby sevens star Ellia Green announced he had transitioned during a video address to the Bingham Cup anti-transphobia summit on Tuesday.
Australian Olympic gold medallist Ellia Green has opened up about his gender transition, describing it as"the best decision of my life".
He said transitioning was the best decision of his life after he made a promise to himself that he would live in the"right" body once his rugby career ended. He said with the help of his partner Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts, and their baby daughter, Waitui, he is in a much better place. "I just knew it was going to be the most liberating feeling when I had that surgery and to be in the body I knew I had to be," Green said.
"I knew something that would make me really happy is that, No. 1, I am going to live the rest of my life with my partner and my daughter . And that I am going to live the rest of my life as her dad."
