PODCAST – Kemi, Karen and Codes of Practice

On this episode of What the Trans?! Flint, Alyx and Ashleigh spend precious minutes of their lives talking about:

  • New segment Action Alley, a dedicated place to highlight protests, campaigns, and calls to action.
  • The recent election. No, not that one, the other one, the one where Kemi Badench became leader of the UK Conservative party.
  • A woman who was dismissed from her role due to her “gender critical” views is to receive a substantial payout from a tribunal.
  • Developments in the EHRC, including Baroness Falkner remaining in post for another year and a deep dive with Sarah from Trans Safety Network about the EHRC’s draft code of practise, which is open for consultation until early January.
