About this episode

The hosts discuss various topics including anti-trans viewpoints, media treatment of public figures, and the appeal of tabletop roleplaying games among trans individuals.

On this episode - which is a bit of a mixed bag, tone-wise - our intrepid hosts Flint and Ashleigh go over: How, when a story pops up claiming that "The UN supports anti-trans viewpoints!" it's really just the work of one person, Reem Alsalem, and her gender critical crusade. The recent death of UK politician Anne Widdecombe and how people expressing their opinions about her online do not deserve to have their lives upended by news organisations. Amnesty International UK's recent crossed swords with organisations named in a recent report of theirs. And in a deliberate decision to keep things light for once , the team delve into the weird and wonderful world of tabletop roleplaying games, or TTRPG's. What they are, why they're awesome, and why they're so popular with trans people. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep160 Gender Census: Gender Census 2026
