Unpicking the media storm - Trans rights as a threat to women

Warning: strong language and mention of rape

Are trans rights a threat to women? Or is that narrative itself the real threat?

Actor, author and activist Charlie Craggs joins journalists Helena Wadia and Mathilda Mallinson in the studio this week, to pick apart mainstream media efforts to pitch cis women against their trans counterparts: where has it come from, who is it serving, and how is it being weaponised against women themselves?

The hosts also spill the beans from their trip to Parliament, which took an unexpected turn for the transphobic.
