Episode 3
Amy finds the pressure too much and wants to run back to London, but Ryley persuades her to stay in Manchester.
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 3: Amy finds the pressure too much and wants to run back to London, but Ryley persuades her to stay in Manchester. She has to face his mother who has trenchant views about trans issues.
