A Certain Ratio‘s Jez Kerr has opened up about his sexuality in a lengthy post on social media.Writing that he is “bisexual and crossdressing has been a part of my life from an early age”, Kerr went on to say: “I know this isn’t exactly a big deal in 2022, but it is something that I’ve only just managed to deal with and I hope by sharing, it might help someone else.“After a long period of illness, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on my life and have recognised that secrecy and unnecessary shame is not good for my mental health.
I’m bisexual and crossdressing has been a part of my life from an early age.”Kerr said that “confusion and shame led me to surpress it and keep it secret.”An important message off our Jez.

This denial, combined with feelings of guilt and shame, has led to all kinds of problems: drug abuse, anxiety, self humiliation, suicidal feelings, a feeling of total self loathing.“I had a very strict catholic upbringing, and so I guess guilt and shame were drummed into me from an early age.”Kerr went on to say he “was also heavily involved in football at MUFC [Manchester United] until the age of 17” where “anything other than strictly ‘manly behaviour’ was distinctly discouraged.”He ended his message by saying: “Only close friends and some family members have been aware of my sexuality and crossdressing, but I now feel able to embrace this part of me and be true to myself.“I no longer want to hide my real identity away or feel shame for who I am anymore.”A Certain Ratio last released an album in 2020 with ‘Acr Loco’.
