2022-04-27 Bad Decisions

Jonny reviews recent rhetoric from JK Rowling and explains why her actions are transphobic and not merely "pro biological women" (taking exception to that concept, of course!). He outlines how trans affirmation is in support of feminism and Women's Rights while Gender Critical and Biological Essentialist positions ultimately support the basic tenets of oppressive patriarchal systems. In the back half of the show he reviews several bad decisions from Florida in the wake of the "Don't Say Gay" law, with a nod to how this sort of policy is more in keeping with the state-sanctioned anti-LGBTQ policies of China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, so recently on display in the news.
