Hollyoaks All About Trans has met more than once with the
Hollyoaks team. Following a large interaction in 2014, the cast and crew asked members of the trans community to advise them on their trans storyline between the characters Blessing and Dennis. All About Trans supported them with casting workshops, leading to a new storyline in 2015 with new character Mrs St Claire played by Annie Wallace.
Paris Lees made a cameo appearance alongside the character Blessing in November 2014.
Dr Kate Stone's press negotiations Sarah Lennox, an adviser for All About Trans, worked with Dr.
Kate Stone on a negotiation with the
Press Complaints Commission (now
Independent Press Standards Organisation) and several mainstream UK newspapers in 2014. This was following her trans status being revealed in articles about being attacked by a stag whilst on holiday. Terms including 'sex swap' were used in these reports. The six papers amended their stories and accepted that they were in breach of Clause 12 of the PCC's Editor's Code of Practice. These were the
Daily Mirror, the Scottish edition of
The Sun, the
Daily Record, the
Daily Mail, and
The Daily Telegraph. The statements by each newspaper were reported by the PCC.
Yvonne Roberts outlined the background and context of Stone's negotiation in
The Observer, while the story was picked up by several news outlets, such as
BBC News,
Press Gazette,
The Guardian, the Radio 4
The Media Show, and by
Channel 4 News.
Boy Meets Girl One of the outcomes of Trans Camp was the Trans Comedy Award. This concept was developed during the day by participants, some of whom went on to work in partnership with BBC Writersroom on a new initiative to encourage sensitive and accurate portrayals of trans characters in comedy scripts. The winning script
Boy Meets Girl, written by Elliott Kerrigan, was made into a pilot by
Tiger Aspect commissioned by
BBC Two in the summer of 2014. Before its release on television, it was one of four pilots to be showcased at the Salford Comedy Festival. It was then broadcast on BBC Two, Thursday 3 September 2015.
Boy Meets Girl comprised six 30-minute episodes; it aired on
BBC Two from 3 September to 10 October 2015. It was set in Newcastle, and starred Rebecca Root as Judy and Harry Hepple as Leo. Both Root and her character Judy are transgender, making this the first BBC comedy to feature a transgender character in a lead role, and the first sitcom to feature a transgender actor playing a transgender character. The series focused on Judy and Leo's relationship, the age gap between the two and their "endearingly eccentric families". At the 2015
Stonewall Awards the show received the Trans Media Award for bringing trans issues to British prime time television. Elliot Kerrigan won a
Royal Television Society Rising Star Award for
Boy Meets Girl in February 2016. Rebecca Root was awarded the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Attitude Awards in October 2015 for her role in the sitcom. In October 2015, it was announced that
Boy Meets Girl would be returning for a second series. This consisted of six episodes, broadcast 6 July to 4 August 2016. Rebecca Root, playing the role of Judy, has since become All About Trans' Patron.
My Trans Story / Patchwork: Real People Patchwork: Real People is the digital storytelling side project of All About Trans. This is a collection of digital media stories from trans people across the UK. All these stories focus on the themes of "support" and "celebration". In December 2013, All About Trans joined with Lucky Tooth Films (with their side project My Genderation) to create a collection of films with support from Channel 4. Throughout the following year, Fox Fisher and
Lewis Hancox filmed with 25 trans and gender variant people across the UK. Each short documentary features a trans person talking about their life, their experiences, passions and hopes. The shorts were produced by All About Trans and made available as ‘My Trans Story' in October 2015 on All Four, the Channel 4 on demand service and ‘Am I Normal', the Channel 4 project that explores the idea through films, clips and advice, that there is "no normal".
Transgender soap characters All About Trans has been credited with the 2015 introduction of two new transgender characters played by transgender people on British soaps, following interactions held with both soap's writing teams.
Hollyoaks introduced 'Mrs Sally St. Claire', played by transgender actress Annie Wallace, and
EastEnders have introduced 'Kyle', the brother of 'Stacey Branning', played by trans actor Riley Carter Millington. This credit was reinforced with Riley Carter Millington topping
The Independent On Sunday Rainbow List in 2015. The feature article accompanying the announcement stated that the "sea of change in the representation of transgender people in the media [was]as a result of tireless campaigning by groups such as All About Trans".
I Am Leo After the All About Trans interaction with CBBC,
I Am Leo, a BAFTA-winning documentary focusing on a trans child named Leo, was developed.
Listening Project In 2015, four volunteers worked with All About Trans and
BBC Radio 4 to record clips for the Listening Project and the
British Library. The first of these was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 18 and 22 November. Paris Lees also presented three
BBC Radio 1 documentaries after the All About Trans meeting with BBC Radio 1 Commissioning Editor Piers Bradford. The documentaries were called
Staying Out,
My Transgender Punk Rock Story and
The Hate Debate.
Media infographic Volunteer and artist Sophie Green worked with All About Trans alongside Robin Esser, Managing Editor, from the
Daily Mail, and the All About Trans Advisory Group to create an infographic that gives media professionals tips when writing about trans matters. This has been shared and mentioned in mainstream media. ==Press==
