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

EP152 - Trailblazer Talks: HIV & the HRC
This week, in a special US-focused episode, our mighty duo of Alyx and Flint talk about: More anti-trans activity North of the border in Scotland. An update on the Girlguiding policy which now has a ticking clock: all trans guides and volunteers must leave by September 6th. A look at the machinations of Darlington council and their recent motion regarding that supreme court judgement. An interview with Tori Cooper of the Human Rights Campaign in the US about her life, work and current focus. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep152

EP150 - Good Law, Great Acting
This week, Flint and Alyx are left to their own devices for this acronym-heavy episode and have the unenviable task of taking you through: Recent enforced driver's license changes in Kansas, USA. CONTENT WARNING: Our second story contains information about young people choosing to end their own lives and how these deaths were not included in 2024's Appleby Report. This is signposted within the episode and a time code to skip over this story is included. Not In Our Name Women (NION Women), supported by the Good Law Project and the letters they gather that focus on reasons to stay. New Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance. Submissions from the Trans Exile Network and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention to GANHRI about the status of the UK's EHRC. PATHWAYS and the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). BUT! After escaping from the acronyms, the team talk about a trip to the theatre to see a show starring the inimitable Abigail Thorn, featuring an interview! Finally, an interview with Astrid from the Trans Solidarity Alliance - the TSA is who organised the mass lobby of trans people at the UK Houses of Parliament in 2025 - to sit down and have a little chat about a recent appeal brought by the Good Law Project to the High Court.

EP149 - We Read Levy So You Don't Have To
At last! It's here! Our long-awaited deep dive into the Levy review is here! In this episode, our hosts Ashleigh, Flint and Alyx take you through what the review got right, what it got wrong and where it didn't go far enough. This is a special episode and as such does not talk about the main news stories of the last few weeks. It's Levy all the way down this time. Normal service will be resumed as soon as we work out what that is. The Beaches! The awesome Canadian band we mentioned. The Atomic Hound Dog! Ashleigh's old band.
