On this week’s episode, hosts Flint and Ashleigh go over
- Some of the reactions to the EHRC’s new code of practise NOTE: There will be a special episode all about the EHRC and their “guidance” coming later, so this week’s episode does not do an intense deep dive.
- New health secretary James Murray has changed his mind on trans women being women. Completely coincidentally, we’ve changed our minds on James Murray.
- Concerns raised by clinicians about the new Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy policy and how it falls drastically short of being ethical or scientifically sound.
- Regular segments Pond Hoppin’, Loser’s Corner and some much-needed Trans Joy
- For our main segment, we have an interview with Melissa from Loving Me, the only UK-wide trans & nonbinary domestic violence refuge & support service that is run entirely by trans & nonbinary people.
