Finally, the truth.

Brilliantly crafted podcast, informative, clever, intriguing. And fascinating to hear Rowling thoughts in her own words. She is no transphobe, just a concerned woman. Absolutely loving this podcast, can’t wait for more episodes.

Refreshingly relatively balanced

In a topic often too hot to handle, it’s refreshing to hear an in-depth conversation where the interviewer and interviewee are genuinely interested in understanding one-another, where motivation and influence are explored, and personal biases examined. There’s still much ground to cover, including why the medical industry is so heavily committed, why institutions are shunning dialogue and championing group think, and why young people feel compelled to support one viewpoint.
