To mark LGBT history month, today’s episode is a discussion with some amazing trans activists within the Labour party about trans rights, the importance of Labour committing itself fully to standing up for the rights of trans people and ways we can create a more accepting and welcoming atmosphere within politics, in particular within the Labour Party.
We discussed various topics such as education around trans issues, the idea of a 'culture war', takings notes from Joe Biden and the Gender Recognition Act. Stay tuned for our upcoming episode on Trans Healthcare!
