Paris Lees is a trailblazer: a trans woman who emerged into public view at the beginning of the 2010s when trans people had very little visibility at all, she was the first trans columnist at Vogue, a presenter, a journalist, and campaigner. Her stunning new memoir - What It Feels Like For A Girl - documents a life that began on a Nottinghamshire council estate, the anti-LGBTQ hatred she suffered growing up, spending time in a young offender's institution, to ending up a panellist on Question Time to presenting shows on the BBC.We talk about her life - and how trans people are suffering a vicious campaign of transphobia in modern Britain.Help us take on an often hateful media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
