In this episode, Flint and Alyx are left to their own devices for this acronym-heavy episode and have the unenviable task of taking you through:
Recent enforced driver’s license changes in Kansas, USA.
CONTENT WARNING: Our second story contains information about young people choosing to end their own lives and how these deaths were not included in 2024’s Appleby Report. This is signposted within the episode and a time code to skip over this story is included.
Not In Our Name Women (NION Women), supported by the Good Law Project and the letters they gather that focus on reasons to stay.
New Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance.
Submissions from the Trans Exile Network and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention to GANHRI about the status of the UK’s EHRC.
PATHWAYS and the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
BUT! After escaping from the acronyms, the team talk about a trip to the theatre to see a show starring the inimitable Abigail Thorn, featuring an interview!
Finally, an interview with Astrid from the Trans Solidarity Alliance – the TSA is who organised the mass lobby of trans people at the UK Houses of Parliament in 2025 – to sit down and have a little chat about a recent appeal brought by the Good Law Project to the High Court.
