EP 55 – We gotta think of the trans kids!

Everything is terrible. The High Court has ruled that under 16’s are incapable of giving consent to puberty blockers. This week:

We examine the Bell/Mrs A vs Tavistock judgement.
We look at how religious extremist hate groups may have influenced the decision.
We talk to the Good Law Project’s Jolyon Maugham about their Trans legal defence fund and their plans for fighting this judgement.

And Ashleigh is sick and Michelle owns two Tamagotchis.
