Trans Rights In The UK and Breakups, Betrothments and Babies

It's our last episode of 2019 and it is, if we do say so ourselves, a cracker! This month we finally got our long-awaited reunion in New York City and are proud to present the Watching and Listening that occurred there. We're also giving you the story behind *that* J.K. Rowling tweet as well as a rundown of all the big breakup, engagement and baby news that naturally comes in December. Happy New Year!
