PODCAST – Trans Lobbies & Zine Hobbies

On another exciting* episode of What the Trans?! your hosts Ashleigh and Flint take you through all the details of:

• Pond Hoppin’ talks about the Skrmetti case before the US Supreme Court. Spoiler alert: Didn’t go well. 
• Good news for trans rights from the European Court of Human Rights, which bodes well for… no particular reason…
• More findings from TACC about the anti-trans “institutional capture” of the EHRC. One day, we’ll get to do a whole-ass episode without talking about the EHRC. But not this time. 
• The inside story from the mass lobby event at the UK Parliament on June 25th, from participants and MP’s brought to you by our woman on the spot: Alyx! 
• Zines! What are they, what’s the history of them, why they’re awesome and why you should make and enjoy them.

*listener’s definition of “exciting” may differ from the podcast team’s definition.
