PODCAST – A Cass-astrophic Review (Part One)

On this extremely chonky episode, Ashleigh and Alyx walk you through;

  • Proposed changes to the NHS constitution, why they’re bad and how you can resist them (spoiler warning, it’s another consultation)
  • Calamitous Kemi’s call for evidence of a non-existent problem
  • A poorly-sourced article about DIY HRT for trans people
  • And part one of our deep dive into the Cass Review, mapping out some of the connections between the Cass team and figures in the American far-right, among other things. Featuring Dr Cal Horton, Dr Reubs Walsh and Dr Natacha Kennedy
