TERFy Potter and the gender recognition act

This week we're discussing trans rights and why the LGB should stand firmly with the T. 

We'll cover the JK Rowling row, what a TERF is, the complicated process by which trans people can obtain gender recognition certificates and - of course - pressing issues like 'where can I pee?'.
