Jamie Wallis

An MP has tweeted that he has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, is a victim of rape and blackmail, and fled The Scene of a car crash.

Conservative Jamie Wallis said he is trans, " or to be more accurate, I want to be".

The Bridgend MP said he was blackmailed in April 2020 by A Man who sent pictures to His Family , and raped by A Man last September.

" Since then things have taken a tumble. I Am not ok, " he wrote.

Mr Wallis was arrested Last Year on suspicion of driving while unfit following an incident where a car hit a lamppost at Church Road in Llanblethian, Vale of Glamorgan.

" When I crashed my car on the 28th November I Fled The Scene . I did so because I was terrified, " he wrote.

He Said he has Post Traumatic stress disorder.

" I honestly have no idea what I was doing except I was overcome by an overwhelming sense of fear. I Am sorry that it appears I 'ran away' but this isn't how it happened in The Moment . "

In the Twitter statement He Said he has been " been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and I've felt this way since I was a very young child.

" I had no intention of ever sharing this With You . I always imagined I would leave politics well before I ever said this out loud. "

" There was a Close Call in April 2020 when someone blackmailed me, outed me to My Father and sent photographs to other Family Members .

" He wanted £50,000 to Keep Quiet . The Police were so supportive, so understanding and on this occasion The System worked. "

Mr Wallis said The Man pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years and Nine Months prison.

He Said : " For a while it seemed as though I would be able to get on with things and move on. Being an MP and hiding something like This Was always going to be tough, but I arrogantly assumed I was up for it.

" Well, I'm not. "

Mr Wallis said in September he " hooked up" with someone who he met online.

" When I chose to say 'no' on the basis that he wouldn't wear a condom he chose to Rape Me . I have not been myself since this incident and I don't think I will ever recover. It is not something you ever forget, and it is not something you ever move on from. "

Mr Wallis praised his party's whips, who He Said " try their best to support and help MPs who are having a tough time.

" Well they've certainly earned their keep with me. "

He Said a dinner with Tory MPs on Tuesday evening reminded him " of the incredible support those you work with can provide".

" I was reminded how important it is to be yourself. I have never lived my truth and I'm not sure how. Perhaps it starts with telling everyone. "
