We’re back! Happy New Year! On this short & sweet(ish) episode, our exquisite hosts wade into the waters of:
- A hop across the pond to talk about stories from Texas and the US Supreme Court.
- International criticism of the upcoming PATHWAYS clinical trial.
- Bridget Phillipson’s statement that trans people “should not be used as a political punchbag” and why that’s a bit f**king rich coming from a Labour cabinet minister.
- AQA educational materials and their, shall we say, problematic way of addressing gender dysphoria.
- A not-quite Loser’s Corner, concerning Sex Matters and the Charity Commission.
