    EP158 - Nerding Out with Luyanda Lewis-Nyawo

    On this slightly-lighter-than-usual episode, our hosts Flint and Ashleigh talk through: A new direct care clinic for the trans community will open in New York City, but is it all that was promised by mayor Zohran Mamdani? A quick run through of some developments around the EHRC, including some serious questioning by the Women & Equalities Committee. The sterling work done by the local government committee within UNISON. Stories of snowflakes upset that people disagree with them, in Loser's Corner!  And a nice chill one in our meat this time, with a nice long chat with nonbinary actor Luyanda Lewis-Nyawo, as featured in Baldur's Gate III, Wednesday and most recently, the new Russell T. Davies drama, Tip Toe. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep158

    EP157 - Loving Me, Helping You

    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.  References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep157

    EP156 - Trans Intimacy: The Private Parts

    This week, on an absolute unit of an episode, hosts Ashleigh and Flint talk about:  Good news from the Colorado supreme court!  The guidance released by the EHRC is discussed in brief, with more to come next week. Wes Streeting is no longer Health Secretary! What does this mean for trans healthcare? Spoiler alert: Probably not much. The BMA's long-awaited response to the Cass review. Our usual segments Action Alley and Trans Joy. Finally, an extensive interview with US author Riki Wilchins about her life, her research and her upcoming new book, Let's (Not) Talk About (Transgender) Sex: The Erotic Erasure of Trans Desire & Sexuality, which will be released on Thursday May 28th.

    EP155 - Frankenstein's Evidence: The Modern Phrenology

    On this extra-strength episode, our hosts, Flint, Alyx and Ashleigh try something a little different. We have many (but not all) of our usual format points but our entire episode this week is dedicated to a single premise: sports science is complicated and bans on trans participation in sport make no sense.  NOTE: You may not care for sport, you may not be interested in it. That is fine and valid, but we would implore you to nevertheless give this episode a try and particularly our interview with Sheree Bekker & Stephen Mumford, two scientists who have some fascinating insights about the social construction of sport and how patriarchy still rules the roost in places like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other sports organisations. We take a look at:  The IOC is to introduce SRY gene sex testing for all entrants competing in the female categories for all events. Parkrun finds itself caught in the Eye of Sauron. Sorry, I meant legal threats from the Alliance Defending Freedom. Our interview mentioned above for the Meat USA Powerlifting finds itself in Loser's Corner. Some tips for fighting back in Action Alley And finally our usual palate cleanser of Trans Joy.

    EP154 - Another Brick in Stonewall

    This week, our beleaguered hosts Alyx, Ashleigh and Flint look with a critical eye over:  Some welcome good news from Montana, USA. A brief look at who else but the EHRC.  A certain US pick-me on the cusp of realising that her collaboration will not save her. Quickly checking in with the people absolutely having a normal one over at Sex Matters.  Lining up a Telegraph article for a roast.  As the title suggests, for our Meat this time we're taking a dip in the waters of Stonewall bay, after their announcement of their upcoming new Chair, Kezia Dugdale and the extremely questionable remarks Dugdale made about a certain author of derivative wizard fiction.

    EP153 - Unkind Rewind

    This week, the delightful duo of Ashleigh and Flint take you through: Ashleigh the Solarpunk fills you in on thrilling tales of her adventures and a content warning is given, because it's just that sort of "adventure."  A triple-decked Pond Hoppin' segment that ends with some uncharacteristically good news. I know! We were surprised too.  The NHS has published a new service specification for Children and Young People's (CYP) gender services. We assess the damage. A foray to the high street as Sex Matters (attempt to) take on M&S! Some quick notes about our staffing levels after PinkNews made all their reporters redundant. Also, we talk about how PinkNews made all their reporters redundant.  It's been a year since the Supreme Court judgement. Yes, that one. We look back and reflect on what's changed and what it feels like has changed, even though it really hasn't. Our usual smattering of Trans Joy as a palate-cleanser.
