Ella Morgan on Online Toxicity, Navigating Trans Life & MAFS

The Pieces with Bimini

Tuesday, 18 August 2026 - 53 minutes

You might know Ella Morgan from her TV work (as the first transgender bride on Married At First Sight, or from Celebs Go Dating), her work as a model or as a campaigner.

A trailblazer in her own right, Ella has built a career on visibility, authenticity and unflinching honesty about what it means to be trans and queer in the public eye. Beyond the glamour and the accolades, Ella is a fierce advocate for trans rights and community liberation: someone who refuses to debate her existence, refuses to dim her light, and refuses to accept a world that demands she apologize for taking up space.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Ella dive into the vulnerable reality of navigating online hate while maintaining mental health.

They discuss how trolls feel manageable when you're in a good place mentally, but one small comment can devastate you when you're struggling. The conversation tackles the toxic discourse around trans rights, the algorithm that feeds hate, and why Ella will never debate her experience with people who don't understand what it's like to be trans.

Ella talks about her dad's role in keeping her grounded and finding power not just in the people around her, but in herself.
