Owen Hurcum

Political positions Hurcum supports Welsh independence, but has been hugely critical of transphobia in the independence movement, including abuse they have personally faced, and have stated that an independent Wales "should be one built on equality and acceptance." They opposed the renaming of the Second Severn Crossing to the Prince of Wales Bridge in 2018.

Hurcum has also spoken in favour of, and campaigned for, transgender rights in the United Kingdom as a whole, including for improved access to trans healthcare in the NHS, amending the Equality Act 2010 to explicitly include non-binary people, and introducing third gender options for passports and other identity documents.

They have opposed increases of post-secondary tuition fees by the Welsh Labour Senedd government.

On 27 January 2022 Hurcum announced that they had joined the Breakthrough Party. They have since joined the Green Party. Hurcum has said "I know I'm not a bloke, but I know I'm not a trans woman either".

In March 2022 Hurcum said they would be moving back to England to renovate a 1940s houseboat, citing property prices as a reason. The intention was to return to Bangor with the boat after the renovation had been completed. They also reached the semi-finals of the 2025 UK Online Carcassonne Championship.
