What’s the BSL sign for ‘Throuple’?


Listen Later

Language about sexuality has exploded and, as a result, the LGBT sign language community has found themselves needing new signs to describe the ideas

British people are talking about. We talk to Dr Patrick Rosenburg who helped come up with new signs for things like cisgender, trans man, polyamorous and
throuple. How did they do it and what does it look like?
Spain has its first parliamentarian with Down's syndrome. We talk to Scott Watkin, a former learning disability co-tsar for the UK government, to talk
more about learning disabled people playing an active role in politics and how it works.
Plus Nina Tame, star of YouTube and social media, joins us to talk about the "micro aggressions" she experiences as a wheelchair user and how her kids
sneakily run upstairs when she plays hide and seek with them.
Presented by Emma Tracey, featuring Aidy Smith from The Three Drinkers podcast.
Recorded and mixed by Dave O'Neill, produced by Niamh Hughes, Beth Rose, Emma Tracey and Alex Collins. Editor is Damon Rose, senior editor Sam Bonham.
