He said that while some were ‘pretty seamless’ and ‘got it’, others struggled. He asked his skeptical friends to simply ‘show some empathy’.

Grace knew she was meant to be female as early as the age of ‘four or five’, and began transitioning at the age of 12.

She consulted doctors, psychologists and experts in the field for a year before commencing any physical treatment.

‘I came out at 12 and then I went through a gradual transition until I was 14, to grow my hair out, to get my name change sorted, to sort out my blockers,’ Grace told Lisa.

‘And then by the time I was 14, I was fully presenting as Grace to the public and at school.’

When asked how his male friends reacted to news of his daughter’s transition, Mat said: ‘Some of my mates were pretty seamless, they got it. Some couldn’t get it. 

‘I’m a member of the local cricket club. One of the boys came up to me and said, “Stevo, I just, I don’t get it, mate. I just don’t get it.” I said, “It’s okay, buddy, you don’t have to get it. All I’m asking you is to love my daughter and show some empathy.”‘

Mat also highlighted the shocking suicide rate among transgender teenagers, saying he didn’t want his daughter ‘to become one of those statistics’.

‘Sadly in this country, we have a really high adolescent suicide rate and it’s a tragedy. Trans-adolescents are 36 times more likely to self-harm, to commit suicide,’ he said.

‘There’s a distinct correlation between lack of support and self-harm. I didn’t want my daughter to become one of those statistics.’

Mat became a household name when he starred on Channel Seven soap Home and Away in the ’90s, playing the role of Adam Cameron.
