2018 marks 100 YEARS since SOME women were given the right to vote in the UK... so it seemed only right that we did an episode on feminism. However with an edge. We explore the untold stories of women, both past and present that are fighting for a fairer world here in the UK, but also further a field. Shout out to Assistsant Producers Amelia Parker, Emma Halahan and Becky Malone for their help with this episode. //CONTACT US//CALL US IN//BE A GUEST//SUGGEST A TOPIC// @KickKyriarchy kickingthekyriarchy@gmail.com www.kickingthekyriarchy.org Kicking the Kyriarchy Hosted on Acast.

33: Sexuality - Bisexuality

Welcome to the debut episode in a brand new series; in this series, we'll be exploring sexuality - and what better way to launch than with Lana speaking to us about pansexuality.

32: Sexuality - Pansexuality

Welcome to the fifth episode in our series which explores reproductive health, in all its many forms. This week, we dived into transgender reproductive health with the wonderful Kate Nambiar.   Kate transitioned as a medical student and entered the profession as a sexual health doctor; as a trans person working in the NHS, Kate has a unique insight into reproductive health matched with unparalleled passion. Kate has also formed her own sexual health clinic, Clinic T, which puts transgender sexual health at the forefront.   We hear about studies which show transgender people are less likely to attend sexual health clinics to receive its services, creating a huge ripple effect from increased undiagnosed HIV conditions to less access to fertility or maternity care. We examine why sexual health clinics can be inaccessible to trans people, from being misgendered at the initial stage of booking an appointment to binary male / female waiting rooms. We even touch on trans sex workers interacting with these services and the shocking stories of sterilisation of trans people abroad.   Keep the conversation going with us over Twitter @KickKyriarchy, and make sure to hit follow on our new Instagram @KickingTheKyriarchy for all your favourite intersectional feminist content.   Don’t forget, you can always e-mail us at kickingthekyriarchy@gmail.com.   We can’t wait to hear what you think, and we’ll see you next time for a conversation with Hayden Cross, the first trans man in the UK to give birth.

31: Reprodutive Health - Transgender

This is the fourth installment in our series of episodes exploring reproductive health, and for this one we’re exploring decolonising contraception.
We are joined by Dr Annabel Sowemimo who talks us through what this term means, the often-undiscussed history of contraception and how we can be more of an ally in the campaign to decolonise contraception for good.

30: Reproductive Health - Decolonising Contraception

This is the third installment in our series of episodes exploring reproductive health, and for this one we’re exploring the impact of the government on our sexual and reproductive health.
We often hear about ‘budget cuts’, ‘austerity’ and ‘cut-backs’, but when you remove the jargon, what does it actually mean? How are our services actually affected? WHO is it affecting? At what rate? 
More and more sexual health clinics are having to close by the day, and the ones that are still around are having to reduce their operating hours, and unfortunatley, it will be the most vulnerable people in society who feel that pinch - young LGBTQ+ people, people of colour, people living with HIV and AIDs, victims of abuse and rape.
To help us understand what’s going on and what we can do about it, we sit down with Dr Verity Sullivan, a phenomenal sexual health doctor who’s working on the front line treating patients and educating people on why we cannot afford to lose these services.

Join us next time where we’ll be decolonising contraception. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
