A new BBC show, "What It Feels Like for a Girl," is based on Paris Lees' book about her life as a trans kid. It is full of colour and joy.

Paris Lees had a hard childhood. She was bullied and had problems at home. She did sex work when young but later knew it was wrong.
Ellis Howard acts in a lead role. Ellis and Paris want more real stories of working-class and LGBTQ+ people on TV.
Paris felt hopeful about gay rights when young but now thinks the media can be negative about trans people.
The show is about being trans and growing up poor. Paris feels being trans helped her, but being poor was tough.
Paris and Ellis like that the show has many working-class actors. They want more stories about real people on TV, not just posh ones.

The show starts on 3 June on BBC Three. Paris hopes people will see the beauty and truth in her story. She is proud of the work everyone has done.
