Episode 2
Amy meets her great heroine Kate (played by transgender artist and activist Kate O'Donnell), who urges her to have fun, take no nonsense and never apologise for being trans.
In this fourth series of Just A Girl, trans teenager Amy has just finished her GCSEs and is waiting for her results. She's been taking hormone blockers since she was 11 and is now anxious to start on the next phase of transitioning.
She's always been certain of her gender identity - it's other people who are the problem. Over the course of a week away in Manchester, she falls in love, experiences her first kiss, meets the inspirational Kate O'Donnell, deals with challenging counter-views on trans-gender politics and learns that being trans is just part of her life - not all of it.
Episode 2: Amy meets her great heroine Kate, played by real-life transgender artist and activist Kate O'Donnell, who urges her to have fun, take no nonsense and never apologise for being trans. It's exactly what Amy needs to hear as her romance with Ryley develops.
