‘A PASSPORT TO LIBERATION’: THE INSIDE STORY OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL, 2025’S BUZZIEST LGBTQ TV SHOW (EXCLUSIVE)“I feel blessed to be part of a show that humanises trans people, that has queer people in the very fabric of it,” says Ellis Howard of this electric memoir adaptation from media figure (and former Attitude columnist) Paris Lees“This show is going to bring a sense of community and light for trans people stuck in those awful towns like I was as a kid,” says rising star Hannah Jones, through tears, before reflecting on her new TV show’s theme of found family that will resonate with many LGBTQ people. “Even if you’re in that awful place – Hucknell for example! – with parents who don’t understand you, people around you at school who just don’t get you, there is refuge. There is family in your not-blood family.” Attitude is chatting with the cast of What It Feels Like for a Girl, the BBC’s electric eight-parter based on the memoir of the same name by media figure and former Attitude columnist Paris Lees, one of the most prominent trans people in the country. Ellis Howard plays main character Byron, based on Paris: an irrepressible teenager from Nottinghamshire whose journey to accepting their queerness is one of the most gloriously chaotic ever seen on screen. |
