Up until now, not too much has been given away about the character that Yasmin Finney will play in Doctor Who<\/a>\u2018s 60th-anniversary special \u2013 other than the fact that she\u2019s a new iteration of beloved companion Rose.<\/p>\n But speaking at a London Trans+ Pride event at the weekend (Saturday 9th July), the Heartstopper star has now confirmed that her character will be trans.<\/p>\n Speaking to a large crowd \u2013 and taking aim at recently resigned Prime Minister Boris Johnson \u2013 Finney said, \u201cHow many of you have seen\u00a0Doctor Who?<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, because that is also a moment and that is also a show where my character is trans so, Boris, I hope you see Heartstopper, I hope you see Doctor Who, because I exist, and I know you know I exist. We all exist, and we\u2019re not going anywhere! Period.\u201d<\/p>\n “I love this so much. This is my first London Trans Pride: I feel so connected to my community more than ever. If the government is trying to eradicate us, we’re all here and we’re just duplicating.” – #heartstopper<\/a>‘s incredible Yasmin Finney (@yazdemand<\/a>) at #LondonTransPride<\/a> ???? pic.twitter.com\/c5vVTikKu7<\/a><\/p>\u2014 PinkNews (@PinkNews) July 9, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
