Nish and Coco take a special look at the issues facing the trans and non-binary community in the UK today. For this discussion they are joined by Abigail Thorn (actress, writer and host of PhilosophyTube) and Freddy McConnell (journalist)
In recent news, the current Tory government has proposed new guidelines for education in schools across England. Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said that gender identity should not be taught in schools to students of any age. Abigail and Freddy respond to these news headlines and discuss The Cass review, a proposed new approach from the Labour Party around the Gender Recognition Act and which individuals need highlighting for their work on trans rights in the UK.
