What do the Trans & Non-binary community need most right now?
7Description
Nish and Coco are joined by Abigail Thorn (actress, writer and host of PhilosophyTube) and Freddy McConnell (writer and journalist) to examine the issues facing the trans and non-binary community in the UK today.
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 also 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.

Cannot understand why some horrible people can treat their fellow human beings so badly. How does a person's self identity affect them!? I am a 64yr old CIS female. Strongly believe that a person who is born with female body convinced they are male (and vice versa) must have such a challenge just growing up sane let alone the pain of the attacks they suffer!
