On this hopefully-interesting episode of What the Trans?! Flint, Alyx and Ashleigh get into the gory details of:
- Villain of the year 2024 Wes Streeting continues his hot streak by expressing sympathy for the families involved with the Bayswater group.
- A Women & Equalities Committee hearing where two scientists exposed the Cass Screwjob as ideologically motivated.
- A lesson on why you should never trust a single word the Telegraph says.
- Several surprisingly positive news stories. (I know, right?! We didn’t think that was possible either!)
- Our fortnightly foray into the field of failure, with Loser’s Corner.
- Flint interviews Vera Drew, the creative mind behind movie The People’s Joker, which is soon to be released in the UK.
