## Resource

On this, it must be said, heavier than usual episode, our hosts Ashleigh and Flint go over: Tough news from the US Supreme Court and their recent regressive ruling on Title IX, allowing state's sports bans for trans players (mostly trans women). The UK's new draft conversion therapy ban and the loopholes large enough to drive a bus through. More changes within the PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial. Scottish Prisons now being told to house trans women on the male estate and vice versa, thanks to a case brought by For Women Scotland. For our Meat this fortnight, we look at the story of one family deeply affected by the puberty blocker ban and anonymously interview one parent about the experience of having a trans child in this landscape and the help that was offered to them by WellBN.
