THIS EPISODE CONTAINS NO MEDICAL ADVICE - Talk to your physician. This week Alexis and Sean talk about Sean’s upcoming FFS (Facial Feminisation Surgery) and the lack of difference between what is seen as trans specific gender affirming medical pathways and those of culturally accepted cis medial treatments. We all at Tranzmission wish Sean the best for her FFS and a speedy recovery!

This week Ez (he/him) and Bette (she/they) discuss useful strategies for engaging in debate around trans topics, both for trans folks and for cis allies. They go deep in the weeds seeking the truth about anti-trans talking points like “detransition” and “biological males”, and explain why clarity is so important when talking about the nuances of sex and gender

This week Ez and Hazel are hyped for so much community news, discussing topics such as the British Medical Association calling the Cass Review "Unsubstantiated," The supreme court of Nepal now legally recognises trans people who do not undergo gender-affirming surgery as trans, as well as discussions on the most topical Olympic news, Algerian boxer Iman Khelif and the international "outrage" of people finding out she is infact a cis gendered woman. The team also had guest Piper (they, she) from Magandjin People's Pride come on to talk counter protesting TERFs in town.
