Alex Thomas-Smith discusses the importance of having viewers engage with the new BBC series "What It Feels Like For A Girl," which is based on Paris Lees' memoir. The show follows Byron navigating queer spaces and self-discovery. They emphasize the show's potential for education about trans experiences and how it presents a unique take on queerness in British television. Alex hopes that viewing may lead to acceptance and understanding among a broader audience, noting that it combines elements of two well-known shows, Pose and Skins.
I'm happy to have a conversation where you share your opinions. I share mine. Maybe we'll both learn something right about each other, but we have to start at an even playing field.
If one person watches our show that has never met a trans person and if they have a change of beliefs or opens their minds, then we'll have achieved something special.
