  EP162 - We Read the Code of Practice So You Don't Have To

  Aug 19, 20261h 15m

  In this special but surprisingly svelte episode, Ashleigh & Flint go over the ins and outs of the EHRC's Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions & Associations, or the CoP. What it is, what it isn't and how it affects YOU, dear listener. Including: Some smaller news stories related to the CoP that you might have missed. A breakdown of each of the CoP's sections, with more emphasis on some than others. Impact assessments! One from the EHRC saying everything's fine, actually, and a rather more scorching one from the OEO (don't worry we'll explain what that is.) Some final thoughts going over what exactly this means for us. Regular segments Pond Hopping, Loser's Corner and Trans Joy are included. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep162

  EP160 - Foes and Fumbles

  Jul 21, 20261h 22m

  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

  EP159 - Investigations and Practices

  Jul 9, 20262h 3m

  On this, it must be said, heavier than usual episode, our hosts Ashleigh and Flint go over: Tough news from the US Supreme Court and their recent regressive ruling on Title IX, allowing state's sports bans for trans players (mostly trans women). The UK's new draft conversion therapy ban and the loopholes large enough to drive a bus through. More changes within the PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial. Scottish Prisons now being told to house trans women on the male estate and vice versa, thanks to a case brought by For Women Scotland. For our Meat this fortnight, we look at the story of one family deeply affected by the puberty blocker ban and anonymously interview one parent about the experience of having a trans child in this landscape and the help that was offered to them by WellBN.

  EP158 - Nerding Out with Luyanda Lewis-Nyawo

  Jun 23, 20261h 44m

  On this slightly-lighter-than-usual episode, our hosts Flint and Ashleigh talk through: A new direct care clinic for the trans community will open in New York City, but is it all that was promised by mayor Zohran Mamdani? A quick run through of some developments around the EHRC, including some serious questioning by the Women & Equalities Committee. The sterling work done by the local government committee within UNISON. Stories of snowflakes upset that people disagree with them, in Loser's Corner! And a nice chill one in our meat this time, with a nice long chat with nonbinary actor Luyanda Lewis-Nyawo, as featured in Baldur's Gate III, Wednesday and most recently, the new Russell T. Davies drama, Tip Toe. References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep158

  EP157 - Loving Me, Helping You

  Jun 8, 20261h 32m

  On this week's episode, hosts Flint and Ashleigh go over Some of the reactions to the EHRC's new code of practise NOTE: There will be a special episode all about the EHRC and their "guidance" coming later, so this week's episode does not do an intense deep dive. New health secretary James Murray has changed his mind on trans women being women. Completely coincidentally, we've changed our minds on James Murray. Concerns raised by clinicians about the new Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy policy and how it falls drastically short of being ethical or scientifically sound. Regular segments Pond Hoppin', Loser's Corner and some much-needed Trans Joy For our main segment, we have an interview with Melissa from Loving Me, the only UK-wide trans & nonbinary domestic violence refuge & support service that is run entirely by trans & nonbinary people.
