On this episode, Ashleigh, Flint and Alyx explore the finer details of:
- Details allegedly ‘leaked’ from the Civil Service to the Times about the upcoming guidance from the EHRC. It’s safe to say that we have one or two concerns about it.
- The PATHWAYS trial, what it is, what it’ll involve and what that stupid backronym* is supposed to mean.
- The Levy review, the much-delayed review into adult trans healthcare, featuring details of an FOI we sent and an interview with Chay from TransActual.
- Plus our regular segments of Pond Hoppin’, Loser’s Corner and Trans Joy!
*a real term, I promise I didn’t make that up.
