Many people watching the show took to Twitter to react to the segment and the overall reaction was very positive with many applauding Nicky and Luke for their bravery. We just want to be accepted, we just want to get on with our lives.” The surgeries we go through, the hormone replacement we go through – all we’re doing, we’re only human. Nicky added that even in 2018, being transgender can be very lonely. I was putting on 7 or 8 bras every day to flatten it as much as I could. Luke also spoke about how puberty was very difficult. It’s okay to care for people, but at the end of the day, when it comes down to it I think you need to do what you need to do for yourself to be happy.” ![]() At the end of the day, everybody only has one life. When asked what he meant by this, Nicky explained that coming out as transgender saved his life. I knew if I didn’t make the for myself, that I wouldn’t be here now.” I was just never comfortable wearing that. My mam had to have meetings over the fact I was using my bottoms underneath my skirt. That was hard for me, in the sense, in school it was really hard for me. “It would have been the start of my teens – obviously going through puberty. Nicky shared how puberty and secondary school were particularly hard. When I was a kid, I loved to be with the boys and I said: “I wish I was a boy.” I was kinda like, ‘I wish I could be a boy but obviously, I can’t.’ I really wanted to say it and ask my parents “Why am I a girl? Why can’t I be a boy?” Because I didn’t have the language, and I didn’t know anybody like me, it was hard.” “I liked going out to the desert, or out to the mountains in Ireland.

Nicky who is 24 years old spoke about growing up feeling different in society. Nicky Manning and Luke O’Reilly Kane bravely shared their experience with Ryan and spoke about their transition and background.
