🎧 Bel Priestley on Trans Rights, Visibility & Finding Her Voice | The Silly Little Girls Club Podcast.

In this powerful episode of The Silly Little Girls Club, Bel Priestley joins host Samantha to share her story as a transgender woman navigating identity, representation, and rising public visibility in the UK. As the UK High Court ruling on trans women and single-sex spaces makes headlines, this conversation could not be more urgent.
