Episode description

We host Jen Shields and Alice Soper to discuss the sudden Ministerial direction to Sport NZ to remove transgender inclusion guidelines. We discuss the impact of this for trans people against a media backdrop that has failed to either adequately challenge anti-trans proponents or platform experts.
