Trans Justice in the Supreme Court

Hosts: Ez (he/him), Bette (she/they), and Rae (they/them) w/ Special Guest Matilda Alexander (she/they) This week Ez (he/him), Bette (she/they), and Rae (they/them) are joined in studio by Matilda Alexander (she/they) from the LGBTI Legal Service. Matilda was the leading lawyer who brought the battle to Health Minister Tim Nicholls in the Supreme Court over the health care directive banning access to puberty blockers for trans kids through the public health care system. Together they discuss what happened in January that resulted in the ban, how the matter was resolved in court, the response from mainstream media and community, as well as where do we go from here.
