    Don’t look for any facts or truth here. Just motivated reasoning which leads its listeners astray.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP139 - FOI & Find Out
Q: What does withdrawal of recognizing the EHRC as a human rights institution look like in practice?
It means TACC will no longer respond to the EHRC's consultations or treat its guidance as authoritative on trans issues, focusing instead on raising concerns directly with parliament.
EP139 - FOI & Find Out
Q: So how did TACC get started and what was the impetus at that time for doing it?
TACC was started at the end of 2024 by two ladies, Lucy and Emmy, aiming to organize complaints aimed at the BBC and has since grown to over 200 members focusing on wider trans advocacy.
EP138 - Queering Ecology, with Jazmeen Qureshi
Q: What shield do you recognize frequently?
Every single emotion that is made tiny within a colonialist or capitalist system can be used as a shield.
EP135 - Let's Talk About the Green Party (Part 1)
Q: How will your party lead the fight against the institutionalized transphobia in this country?
By challenging misinformation, promoting solidarity among marginalized groups, and pushing for healthcare improvements.
EP135 - Let's Talk About the Green Party (Part 1)
Q: Adrian Ramsey says that the ruling from the Supreme Court brought clarity. Do you agree?
No, it has caused more confusion with poor media reporting making the situation worse.
