This is Fear of Missing Out: young people living in the UK talking about the stuff we wish we learnt at school.
Felix is a 20 year old playwright, poet and performer from Liverpool. He came out as trans when he was 14 and, in his words, it has become harder, not easier, to be a young out trans person in the public eye. Felix looks at the history of how queer people have been presented in the UK media, to try and contextualise how trans people are spoken about in the media today.
Felix speaks to Justin Bengry, Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir and Marc Thompson.
