"My advice to other trans-bears out there is don’t second guess yourself. You know who you are, and what you’ve been through to get to this point. There will be people who will question you and try and tell you that you aren’t really a man, not really a bear, perhaps not even gay. At the end of the day what matters the most is the community that doesn’t. The community that accepts you with open arms. Find those people and no matter what you face you will never face it alone." - Co-curator of Oh, How We Laughed* Jace Reh was interviewed for January's Bear World Magazine.

We meet the new Mr. Bear South Australia, Jace Reh, a proud q***r Gamilaroi Trans Man. An advocate, a fundraiser, a counsellor, a proud representative of our community and an author. Mr Bear SA

Winning the title of Mr Bear SA was such an honor and a privilege. I have dedicated much of my life to supporting and uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community, and after building such a loving deep connection with the Bear Men of Adelaide it was such a pleasure to be named their representative.
