Ayla Holdom is a British helicopter pilot and former flight lieutenant in the Royal Air Force.

[2] Early into her gender transition, in 2010, Holdom was outed as a transgender woman by the Sun tabloid due to her association with Prince William.

"[1] She was notified of the story's appearance on the Sun's front page only one day in advance,[4] and later recalled that she "felt attacked and vilified by people I'd never met and betrayed by whoever went to the press.

[7] A 2018 production by the Sydney Theatre Company, Still Point Turning, is a dramatisation of the lives of Holdom and Royal Australian Air Force group captain Cate McGregor, who is also a transgender woman.

[4] Holdom is lesbian, and was in a relationship with her wife, Wren, for eight years before they married in a civil ceremony around 2008.
