In this episode, Ashleigh and Alyx break in one of our new hosts, Amber, by talking about:

• Current Health Secretary Victoria Atkins bans the use of puberty blockers for trans young people, but not for cis ones.
• Sarah Jane Baker, held prisoner since July 2023 at the direction of the then-Home Secretary, is freed!
• Attacks on the Equality Act 2010 ramp up as the election looms.
• An update on the UKCP’s decision to withdraw their signature from a key document opposing conversion therapy.
