After the JK Rowling blog posts and doubling down on some of the most common anti-trans arguments from a TERF point of view (and nicely re-acronymed FART by my guest), I had to get Amy back on to talk about her thoughts on the arguments which were lapped up by a lot of skeptics. We covered that nicely, had a little side trip to talk about Sponge Bob being gay or asexual, Trump's dumping of another Obama-era protection for gay and trans people then the Supreme Court being surprisingly human for once.
