About this episode

Ashleigh and Flint discuss recent developments in gender services, media changes, and reflect on a significant Supreme Court judgement.

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. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep153 Kickflips for Trans Lives!
