This is an interesting podcast. There are some fantastic points made, like the one about affirming self-hatred of the child’s sexed body noted above. I thought Helen’s point about NHS oversight was interesting too, especially how having a single system allowed rapid appraisal of the safety of emerging IVF technologies and good follow-up in the past, so it was mystifying how badly they’d dropped the ball on PBs and x-sex hormones.
I noticed that Helen is much better at providing context for listeners new to this area before making her points. I also liked that she explained that Keira and others initiating judicial reviews have not received any compensation, but instead brought their cases to benefit others. That will be interesting for a US audience where suing is much more about compensation.
