Everything In Conversation: UK Transphobia & Why We Need To Listen To Trans People With Maxine Heron

Everything In Conversation: UK Transphobia & Why We Need To Listen To Trans People With Maxine Heron

Hello EIComrades, happy Pride month 🎉


In today’s episode we speak to Maxine Heron. Maxine is the online comms officer at Not a phase a registered, trans-led British grassroots charity dedicated strictly to supporting and uplifting transgender and gender-diverse adults across the UK, as well as being a model, creator, writer and public speaker, and friend of the pod.


A couple of weeks ago, the The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) ruled that single-sex changing rooms and bathrooms in England, Wales and Scotland must exclude trans people. The guidance issued to public bodies, businesses and other service providers, has been approved by ministers. It’s such a dark time in UK politics, we speak to Maxine about the real world implications on trans people, how we got here, and what we can do to help.


Sending lots of love to every trans person out there, we love you & so do all of our mates. O,R,B xoxoxx
