Transmission: The story behind the concert fighting for Trans+ rights
In a hostile enviroment for Trans+ rights and a year of rollbacks of rights since the Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act will be a sharp focus, for 12,500 Trans+ people, allies, and some of the UK’s most loved household names as they gather in Wembley Arena on March 11th 2026, for Transmission Live - a significant intervention from the music industry, and changemakers to bring allies together, in step, to advocate for the needs, and rights, of the Trans+ Community.Together with Not A Phase's Maxine Heron, QueerAF speaks to organiser Olly Alexander, and broadcaster, author and model Munroe Bergdorf to explore the cultural signifigance of the concert - but also to examine: When you’re a defacto minority, you just don’t have the numbers to deliver all the change you need - and that’s where getting allies to pick up the charge, really counts. Could this event be a significant and historical intervention from some of the UK's biggest household names?Get your tickets: https://www.transmissionlive.uk/Follow Not A Phase: https://www.instagram.com/notaphaseorg/Episode Credits: Hosted by Maxine Heron.

The transgender pilot who survived the Nazis and set racing records
Roberta Cowell, or Betty might have been born into a strict, religious family - but her history, is one with many lessons.She shows us that Trans+ people are more than just their identity. That Trans+ people deserve to tell their own stories. That, as Sabah Choudrey wrote in this year’s Trans+ History Week workbook lesson about her - “while positive trans representation matters, you don’t need to see yourself represented to know that you can live authentically, and be trans, happy and celebrated.”It’s time for the final episode of Season 6 of the QueerAF podcast, once again with Trans+ History Week.Episode Credits: Hosted and produced by Amber Deveraux and Tin Can Audio.

The trans man who funded gender affirming care when no-one else was
Reed Erickson was an eccentric trans multimillionaire who transitioned in the US in the 1950s. Erickson’s access to wealth and relationship to trans healthcare went on to greatly shape how Western gender clinics developed from the 1960s onwards. In this episode, Vic Parsons explores that link, and unpacks what we can learn from the story of a vastly influencial figure in gender affirming care models.Read our history stories about Magnus Hirschfield:https://www.wearequeeraf.com/i-just-learned-the-nazis-first-book-burning-happened-at-worlds-first-trans-clinic/https://www.wearequeeraf.com/its-time-for-the-trans-history-lesson-we-never-had/Check out Vic's first exclusive investigation for the QueerAF newsletter:https://www.wearequeeraf.com/conversion-therapy-groups-spend-2m-on-lobbying-and-promoting-practice-in-soaring-costs-since-promise-to-ban-the-abusive-practice/Episode Credits: Hosted and produced by Vic Parsons, with thanks to guests Morgan M Page host of One From The Vaults and Cal Horton.

The media and advertising industry's role in rising transphobia
This year, for the first time since tracking of it began - Trans+ rights in Europe retracted, instead of grew. In the UK, hate crimes towards trans people are up nearly 1400% in the last decade. Meanwhile, as hate plays out on the streets - the addiction in some parts of the media to hateful, clickbait headlines that drive attention to news providers, but division in communities all over the world has continued.This week on QueerAF, in an episode supported by Publicis Media Groupe UK - we’re going to ask: What is the media's role in rising transphobia? How can the advertising industry change the media? What can we, as individuals, do about this - can we play a role at work to advocate for better responsibility from businesses?Episode Credits: Hosted and produced by Jamie Wareham.

Rewind: I'm gay, and this is how I overcame my homophobia
First produced and published in 2018, in the British Podcast Awards nominated Season Two of QueerAF - Support our workAfter Sean Allsop produced this episode, one of his first paid documentary audio commissions, he’s gone on to have an illustrious career making documentaries for the BBC, The World Service, Virgin Radio, Absolute Radio: And a vast number of them about the LGBTQIA+ community. Sean’s brought the history of Section 28, The Legacy of Terrance Higgins and investigations into Poland’s LGBT free zones onto National radio. All, in part, because we were able to give him one of his first portfolio pieces, as well as the training and mentoring on how to do queer stories justice. That’s what we’re up to here, supporting queer creatives to build media careers so they can change the media - all to change the country.https://www.wearequeeraf.com/membership/Sean suffered from internalised homophobia. He is perfectly OK with his sexuality, but kept asking himself why the LGBTQIA+ community has to be 'so queer.' At the time of recording, Sean Allsop was a recent radio graduate and set out to find if it's possible to overcome your shame of being gay – and learns why he has, until now, projected his own homophobia onto others.With thanks to Matthew Todd, author of Straight Jacket.
