Скачать или смотреть Unpacking Trans Rights, Protest, and the "Boys' Club" in Politics

Join us for a robust discussion on the intersection of trans rights, political party structures, and the law. In this episode, we break down why a commitment to gender-balanced committees is insufficient without inclusive policies that also embrace transgender members.

We also explore the recent political landscape, including the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action and the US government's efforts to label Antifa as a "terrorist organisation," and how these actions reflect on the state of protest and civil liberties. We analyse the debate surrounding internal party disputes and their impact on solidarity, and explore how a "boys' club" mentality continues to hold back progressive politics.
