#Trans #TikTok #star #BelPriestley explains how she ‘#manifested’ her #role in #Heartstopper #season2.

The #Queer #teen #drama was already considered #radical for having one #main #trans #character: #ElleArgent, played by #YasminFinney.

But in #season2, Oseman has taken another step forward for #LGBTQ+ #representation, introducing a second #trans #character, #Naomi, played by Priestley.
