Gillian and Jenny begin Transvox season two by catching up on major trans-related UK stories from recent months. They discuss the Women’s Institute and Girl Guides planning to exclude trans girls, describing these moves as cruel fallout from a Supreme Court judgment being used to justify wider exclusion, including in amateur sport.

They revisit puberty blockers and the Cass Report, linking restrictions on blockers and hormones for 16–17-year-olds to increased distress and criticising “both sides” framing.

They note political and public allies (including Olly Alexander and Green Party support), Labour’s exclusion of trans women from its women’s conference, and NHS moves to end shared care with private providers.

They cover Marks & Spencer reaffirming trans inclusion, backlash to Stonewall chair Kezia Dugdale’s comments on a noted anti-trans person, the accidental fire at Pink Punters, and a court overturning a fine against the University of Sussex.
