Melissa Ede (25 September 1960 – 11 May 2019) was an English transgender rights campaigner and social media personality.
Ede knew that she was transgender from an early age.
Her gender reassignment surgery was completed in 2011 and she subsequently received media attention.
Ede promoted transgender issues by applying for the Mars One project, using it as a platform to profile her life.
She gained greater fame following a series of viral videos she uploaded to social media platforms.
Ede took part in documentaries about her life made by the BBC and Vice.
She also appeared on television shows such as The Jeremy Kyle Show and Tattoo Fixers, which heightened her profile.
Ede later won four million pounds on a scratch card which kept up media interest as she carried on campaigning for LGBT rights.
On 11 May 2019, she died at her home in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire.
