## Resource

On this deep-dive episode, the first in a three-part series, the team take a brief look at the news, including: A proposed "Brit Card" digital ID system and the troubling implications for trans people. Excellent news from Estonia, which has revolutionised its medical and gender recognition system overnight. SEGM gets rekt by Gordon Guyatt (that's him in the thumbnail!) Before moving on to the meat of the episode, which we've developed alongside https://www.wearequeeraf.com/ and Claire Prosho ( https://linktr.ee/CTransTalks) to bring you new information from inside the UK's gender identity clinic system, including: How Wes Streeting used information that was already a year out of date. A look at the astounding, centuries-long waiting list for a first appointment in some areas of the UK. How newer clinics are doing much more with less, compared to the old GIC system. With much more to come in the next two episodes! References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep141
