Episode 4

Teenagers Amy and Ryley are falling for each other. How will Amy tell him she is trans? And when should she tell him? Will he still like her? She is going to have to find out.

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 4: Teenagers Amy and Riley still like each other, but their romance is not easy. Amy's grandad Ted takes Ryley's mum out for lunch to find out why she's upsetting Amy. It's his turn to have his assumptions challenged.
