My second adolescence (by Kylie Noble)

When you read this, I will be camping in the Shropshire countryside with two of my best friends (we have each bought our own tents to enable social distancing!) It’s basically my summer holiday this year even though it’s just for three days and I couldn’t be more excited. I was planning to be totally off my phone but I’m sure I’ll be posting the odd photo on my Instagram account.

Anyway, I have used this as an opportunity to commission my second guest writer for The Single Supplement after the success of Tola Fisher last month. Today’s guest is Kylie Noble, a journalist I’ve known for quite a few years now.

She is only 26 but has already had such an interesting life having grown up in rural Nothern Ireland and then moved to the UK and worked in loads of different sectors as well as being a journalist. I’m so glad she agreed to write today’s column for me. She has chosen to write about her second adolescence and why so many LGBT+ people end up having them.

I shall hand over to Kylie now!
