Ramses lives with his spouse in a one-bedroom flat in Lee, South East London."Shortly after getting my own place, I went no contact with my family. Home for me never felt like a safe place, and when I first moved to London, I kept most of my belongings in boxes, waiting for the next move. This is the first time I've allowed myself a longer tenancy contract, allowing me to decorate. Seeing books on the shelves, prints on the walls, my own furniture made me realise this can finally be a place where I belong.Home for me has always been people rather than places - my partners, my friends visiting, sometimes crashing at my place, sometimes couch surfing for a few weeks. I've always wanted a place where everyone, especially other trans and queer people, could feel at home, even if I couldn't. But after a few years of trying, I think I'm starting to see it too. I think I'm finally home." - says Ramses
