Paris Lees (1986–) is a British journalist and kicks considerable arse as a campaigner for transgender rights. She is a preeminent figure in the push for better media representation and treatment of trans people. Her eloquence and tireless activism is especially well-known in the blogosphere,^[1] and she is active on YouTube.^[2]

As of 2012 her work with UK media monitoring group Trans Media Watch^[3] and META Magazine^[4] has elevated her to something of an authoritative status on trans issues, especially the controversial topic of transgender youth. She has blogged^[5] for the BBC and appeared as a guest on the BBC Breakfast programme during its 2012 coverage of the James family media clusterfuck.^[6]

Her first book, What It Feels Like For a Girl, a hybrid memoir-novel, was published in 2021.^[7]
