TERFy Potter and the gender recognition act

Matter of Pride: a comedy education of gay history (with comedian Aaron Twitchen)

This week we're discussing trans rights and why the LGB should stand firmly with the T.

We'll cover the JK Rowling row, what a TERF is, the complicated process by which trans people can obtain gender recognition certificates and - of course - pressing issues like 'where can I pee?'.
