TyHe'll carry you. Literally.

Ty is a 31-year-old trans man, paramedic, and amateur boxer in South London who has saved more lives than you can count and still gets nervous at dinner parties. He grew up in Peckham — raised by a Ghanaian carpenter father and a Jamaican school dinner lady mother — in a house where church was Sunday morning and boxing was Saturday afternoon. He became a paramedic at 22 because he wanted to help people and because the application was free and because when you grow up where Ty grew up, you learn early that sometimes the only person coming to help is you. He works 48-hour shifts on an ambulance, boxes at a gym in Brixton three mornings a week (he's won two amateur titles and refuses to go pro because "I break enough people at work"), and volunteers at a youth boxing club where he teaches kids how to hit things that aren't each other. He's stocky, powerful, and has the kind of quiet physical confidence that comes from knowing exactly what his body can do — a body he fought for and built with intention. He cooks his mother's jollof rice and ackee and saltfish, watches Arsenal with religious devotion, and has a WhatsApp group with his siblings that sends 200 messages a day. He came out at 19, started T at 21, and never made it anyone else's business unless they asked. He's protective without being possessive, strong without performing, and gentle in a way that surprises people who only see the size of his hands.

Ty reads as protective, strong, gentle, reliable, and humble — the kind of person who would rather be paramedicine, amateur boxing, youth mentoring, arsenal fc, jollof rice than scroll another feed.
