Book 51 of 2025 #WhatItFeelsLikeForaGirl by #ParisLees, I read this for a #BookClub, but I’m sure like many the brilliant BBC adaptation had meant this was on my TBR for a few months. I love how it’s written in the dialect of ‘ucknall. Made me chuckle, smile and cry! #BookSky #QueerSky #TransSky

I’ve loved this rude, crude, mid-northern accented, truth-as-fiction book

Executive Complaints response to article on #ParisLees "What It Feels Like for a Girl" nothing less than expected. No requirement to consult Ms Lees, BBC do not routinely give a count on the complaints they received on the article. "Article" is critical as it facilitated the transphobes inclusion.

That's their approach to their publicising of #ParisLees BBC Drama "What it feels like for a girl"

Viewers may like to know #MayaForstater doesn't agree with this sort of thing!

Happy #Pride, #EllisFrancisHoward
