She's literally been called "that girl" by Gay Times; Maxine Heron is a writer, speaker and model with a career that centres on beauty, fashion and trans advocacy, using her platform to spotlight the issues faced by the trans+ communication.

On this week's episode of I Said What I Said with Loulou O-Ren, Loulou and Maxine talk about the importance of the slogan 'Protect The Dolls', the rise in violence against trans people and the real-life, everyday challenges they face.

This episode also emphasises the need for real action and allyship beyond social media hashtags - including workplace inclusion, the role of trans-led organisations and challenging transphobia in everyday life.
