The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) had one job: To protect human rights.

When it comes to trans people they have arguably failed.

On this podcast we go over the history of the EHRC and how it went from being pretty good on trans issues to dancing to the anti-trans tune of the government.

Also: Anti-trans fascist Florida governor has announced his run for the US presidency. Nothing about that was good.

Big podcast. Big news.

  • The UN's independent expert on sexuality and gender identity came to the UK to look at the state of everything. He was 'alarmed' at what he found. We go through his initial report and see how right he really is (spoiler: he is very right)
  • We talk to Trans Safety Network director Jess O'Thomson about the UN expert's findings and the future of the Trans Safety Network
  • And last (but REALLY not least) we chatted to YouTuber Soulbunni about racism in the leftist/trans creator space and what you should be doing to support Black trans creators.

Really important that you go through the references for this one. Got a lot of important stuff there.
