- As one of our leading transgender voices, TikTok star turned 'Heartstopper' star, Bel Priestley talks about the state of transgender rights in the UK and beyond in this special episode of my podcast, Reign to celebrate Pride! Listen to the full interview here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0
You may have seen Bel before all over your TikTok as she has emerged as one of the UK’s leading young trans voices. From sharing her transition story to shutting down trolls, she now has an epic 1.2 million followers and 84.9 million likes and we love to see it!
Bel isn’t just content with TikTok domination, she is about to star in the second season of Hearstopper and I am beside myself excited for it, and I know you are too!
In this episode we talk all about Heartstopper, and joining that incredible Heartstopper cast alongside Kit Connor, Joe Locke and Yasmin Finney. Bel also opens up her transition journey that began at 13, as well as the prejudice she faced and lessons she’s learnt along the way.
At a time when trans people are facing hate in record numbers, it's more important than ever to listen, learn and celebrate our trans community. I hope Bel’s story inspires you to be a true trans ally.

What she said about Rishi Sunak is so true - the Prime Minister is attacking our own citizens, it's horrific! We all need to stand by our trans friends 🏳️⚧️
i can relate to the difficulty of being queer in the school system , so exited to see her in heartstopper

drink every time she says LIKE...
it's been like proven in research published in like the journal of language and social psychology that people who like use filler words like like are like more thoughtful and like conscientious about like what they're saying and they're actually like deeper thinkers whereas like this comment doesn't read as intellectual like you were aiming for, but rather that you're like actually a huge misogynistic dick. :)
She's so cute! I'm so glad we're getting to know her a bit before the new season comes out. This show picks the best cast, I swear. 🥹
Also, she made such a good point about calling yourself an ally but not actually doing anything to help.
Couldn't agree more with this! If you want to hear more from Bel check out the full interview on my podcast Reign, you can listen here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 - there are plenty more words of wisdom in the podcast from Bel! Let me know what you think - hope you enjoy it! Josh
