Paris Lees (1986–) is aBritish journalist and kicks considerable arse as a campaigner fortransgender rights. She is a preeminent figure in the push for bettermedia representation and treatment of trans people. Her eloquence and tireless activism is especially well-known in the blogosphere,[1] and she is active onYouTube.[2]
As of 2012 her work with UK media monitoring group Trans Media Watch[3] andMETA Magazine[4] has elevated her to something of an authoritative status on trans issues, especially the controversial topic of transgender youth. She has blogged[5] for theBBC and appeared as a guest on the BBC Breakfast programme during its 2012 coverage of the James family media clusterfuck.[6]
Her first book,What It Feels Like For a Girl, a hybrid memoir-novel, was published in 2021.[7]
