This was going to be a good news episode. But then bad things happened. So we talk about some bad things, some amazing things and Michelle spends way too much of it talking about a movie for children (and is not sorry about it).
This week:
– The Bell V Tavistock decision has been significantly undone!
– Arkansas does it’s own Bell V Tavistock only far worse!
– Working life for trans people exposed!
– We discuss microaggressions FROM SOCIETY
– And Michelle talks about telling Dave Chappelle to go f**k himself (he deserved it).
