This time on our (somewhat delayed, sorry about that) episode, Flint demonstrates their intrepidity while Ashleigh largely stays home. We cover:
- RFK Jr’s Department for Health & Human Services spent August pumping out misinformation about trans people.
- The ongoing story/car crash that is NHS Wales’ decision to cancel a number of trans related surgical procedures at extremely short notice.
- As our title suggests, Flint was on the ground for the mass lobby at parliament and spoke to a number of people who’d travelled to London to speak to their MP’s.
- A quick interlude from our sound editor-turned-international correspondent, Amber Deveraux, at Malta Pride.
