Alexis Blake on Transition, Marriage & Mental Health | Yorkshire Talks

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.

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.

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.
