This time on What the Trans, hosts Flint and Ashleigh tackle some unsurprising news for listeners in the UK. But there’s more here than you might have heard about, including:
- #JusticeForJoelle! How the circumstances of a trans woman’s appalling death in 2023 reverberate through to today.
- How a raid on a German LGBTQ+ centre during a trans-focused event one Sunday demonstrates, once again, that ACAB.
- The DWP, Civil Service, Armed Forces AND the NHS co-ordinated to release their discriminatory trans policies at the same time on the same day.
- Details of the NHS policy itself plus a leaked impact assessment that shows NHS higher-ups knew the policy would be harmful to trans people. They went ahead with it anyway.
- Regular segments Loser’s Corner and some much needed Trans Joy
- For our main segment we once again catch up with Claire Prosho, with whom we worked last year for our Gender Clinic Files series. There have even been some positive changes!
