Through her videos, social media platforms and podcasting work, Alexis has become a prominent voice in conversations around transgender visibility, relationships and modern life. She was recently named Gaydio Influencer of the Year.
On this episode of Yorkshire Talks, Matt and Christine are joined by Alexis Blake - a Doncaster-based content creator, influencer and transgender advocate who has built a huge online following by sharing her experiences of transition, identity and everyday life with honesty, humour and authenticity.
Alongside her husband, Liam Blake, Alexis co-hosts The Blake Debate — an open and candid podcast exploring current issues, personal experiences and the topics that spark conversation across the UK.
In this honest conversation, Alexis tells Matt and Christine about:
• Coming out as a gay man before realising she needed to transition, after delaying the decision for many years.
• Working as a trans woman in a tough Yorkshire warehouse environment.
• Her husband Liam's reaction to her transition, and how it strengthened their relationship.
• Their decision to share their journey publicly online.
• Liam's own mental health breakdown and recovery.
• Gender-affirming surgery and life after transition.
• Their hopes of adopting in the future.
• Times when Alexis has felt unsafe as a trans woman.
• Why she believes support for the LGBTQ+ community has declined in recent years, due to changing attitudes, funding pressures and the political climate.

Jono Lancaster su identità, condizioni rare e il coraggio di abbracciare se stessi
Jono Lancaster on identity, rare conditions and the courage to embrace yourself: a powerful Yorkshire Talks conversation This episode of Yorkshire Talks is one of those moments. Before the cameras even begin rolling, it is clear that Jono Lancaster brings with him a presence shaped not by fame, but by lived experience, compassion and an extraordinary emotional clarity. Jono’s story has reached millions across the world. Many know him from his uplifting memoir Not All Heroes Wear Capes or from his recent Channel 4 series Love My Face, where he stepped into the homes and the hearts of families navigating visible differences. But sitting with Matt Jameson and Christine Talbot, we meet Jono not as a presenter or an author, but as a man whose life has been shaped by early rejection, profound resilience and a lifelong commitment to helping others feel seen.

Dr Amir Khan su gentilezza, comunità e cura della mente e del corpo
Alcune conversazioni ci ricordano perché l'assistenza sanitaria, nel suo cuore, riguarda le persone. Questo episodio di Yorkshire Talks fa esattamente questo. Matt Jameson e Christine Talbot sono affiancati dal Dr. Amir Khan, il medico di base che milioni di persone riconoscono da ITV. Caldo, avvicinabile e infinitamente rassicurante sullo schermo, Amir è altrettanto riflessivo e coinvolgente lontano dalle telecamere. Ciò che si sviluppa è una conversazione divertente, onesta e profondamente umana sulla medicina, l'identità, la gentilezza e cosa significa veramente prendersi cura degli altri.
