Woman Up Podcast

In this episode, we chat with Dr Ellie Kane, a personal friend of the podcast, end of life care cancer doctor, and trans woman.

The recent supreme court ruling and media demonisation of trans women has left a dark shadow for many in the trans community and beyond. Changing these women's lives over night, as well as the lives of all women and the fight for safety we continue to push for.

This episode is an emotional listen at times, but we hope it gives you all insight into trans women's perspective, and insight into how YOU can step up, be an ally to those who need it, and support where support is needed.
