Has anyone listened to last night's episode yet?
It is an extended interview with Wes Streeting. I really like what he has to say about managing policy around trans related legislation.
Lewis Goodall is, in my view, a closet TRA, who goes as far as he can as a news journalist trying to pitch himself as a balanced reporter. I think his line of questioning and what he chooses to follow up on, seeks to guide listeners to think any contend about trans issues are either ridiculous or coming from a dark place. I think Streeting in very smart and us on to this. He shared genuine concerns about the challenges trans people face, acknowledged that addressing these is not straight forward due to how they intersect with women's rights and when Goodall tried to bring it back to the Tories ridiculing trans people, he deftly moved on to listing many issues women face that the Tories are doing nothing about.
I think many GC will not like the podcast as Streeting was championing people with trans identities as well as women. Many TRAs won't like it as he was championing women, and regarding us as a class of our own - butI loved it.
Anyone else?
