Hey listeners! We've launched a Patreon. If you want to support us for a small monthly fee, head to patreon.com/MediaStormPodcastScotland recently joined approximately 30 countries in implementing a progressive gender self-identification law. The Gender Recognition Reform Bill, aiming to streamline the process of transgender people obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate, passed by 86 votes to 39. But the celebrations were short-lived. The British government - or, one member of that government, the Scottish Secretary of State Alister Jack, - blocked the Bill in an unprecedented move and constitutional first. Fears were cited that legislation could have an adverse impact on the Equality Act 2010, and therefore across the UK in areas like single sex spaces.Transgender people do not need a Gender Recognition Certificate to access any single-sex spaces. But across the media, Scotland's Gender Recognition Reform Bill was linked with transgender access to single-sex spaces.So what happened? What changes did the Bill actually propose? This week, Media Storm speaks to transgender people who have applied for Gender Recognition Certificates, about what the changes mean in real life, and asks what we can learn from other countries like Iceland and Ireland that already have progressive Self-ID laws in place.We're joined in the studio by author, actress, and activist Charlie Craggs to discuss media representation of the transgender community and gender self-ID. Speakers:Arthur Webber @BernieTranders Asher Gibson @gibson_asher @A_B_GbsnUgla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir (Owl) @uglastefaniaAoife Martin @aoifemrtnCharlie Craggs @charlie_craggsWith thanks to Heard heard.org.ukThe voice of 'Sarah' is Theo Stinson Sources:Scotland Ministerial Statement https://www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/ministerial-statement-challenge-to-the-uk-governments-section-35-order-on-the-gender-recognition-reform-scotland-bill-april-19-2023 Statement of reasons related to the use of section 35 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statement-of-reasons-related-to-the-use-of-section-35-of-the-scotland-act-1998Gender Recognition Reform Bill factsheet https://www.gov.scot/publications/gender-recognition-reform-scotland-bill-more-information/Scotland's trans self-ID bill no risk for women https://www.reuters.com/article/britain-scotland-lgbt-idUSL8N33949WMermaids' research into newspaper coverage on trans issues https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/news/exclusive-mermaids-research-into-newspaper-coverage-on-trans-issues/Your hosts are @helenawadia and @mathildamall.

In our second highlight reel, we will be showing clips of some of our favourite moments in the last four talks from the first day of our Transforming Spaces Conference that we will be publishing. The full talks will be released weekly so make sure to check them out as they pop up. This episode touches on the topics of sports, pregnancy, prisons, and making change. We are running a project on trans inclusion in sport: we aim for sport / physical activity organisations to become more knowledgeable and more confident in their ability to create and implement realistic, everyday trans inclusive practices. Alongside this, we aim to encourage trans people themselves to take up, or return to, physical activity and sport and all the benefits that can bring. If you are trans/non-binary and aged 16 or over, we would love to hear about your experiences and opinions about sport and physical activity! We have a survey open until May 31st 2019, so please do follow the link and let us hear you: http://genderedintelligence.co.uk/project/trans-inclusion-in-sport Unfortunately we won’t have a conference in 2019, but keep an ear open for the 2020 conference! Gendered Intelligence is a charity that works to increase understandings of gender diversity and improve the lives of trans people. Our goal is of a world where people are no longer constrained by narrow perceptions and expectations of gender, and where diverse gender expressions are visible and valued.

This week my guest in Charlie Craggs, founder of Nail Transphobia, an organisation that sees Charlie tacking trans issues through conversation, education and manicures. She's also the Editor of To My Trans Sisters, a collection of letters written by trans women in which they share their stories. We talk about everything from Charlie's early obsession with Posh Spice to the music that made her feel a sense of community during a really difficult time at school, to dealing with the concept of ‘cool' as an adult, looking back on how that's changed since her teenage years.

Joining Calum this week was author and trans activist Charlie Craggs. She spoke about her amazing brand Nails Transphobia, her powerful book ‘To My Trans Sisters' and her latest lobster themed campaign, #ClawsOutForTrans.

This week, I have the joy of interviewing Jemima Sara, who made her art into an eponymous ethical fashion brand. Not only did we chat about her story (she studied puppetry), but we also discussed how YOU can turn your art into a charitable fashion brand.  Featuring her 'martini ladies' illustrations, Jemima's fashion garments are empowering in their hilarity, body positivity and charity association (she donates 10% of proceeds to Young Women's Trust). Worn by the likes of Daisy Lowe and available at one of London's hottest shopping destinations, Coal Drop's Yard, I'm thrilled to be promoting such a promising (and kind) fashion designer.  Recommended media:  Feminists don’t wear pink and other lies @theslumflower  @byoliverfrancis   Charlie Craggs, To My Trans Sisters Glossary: Wolf & Badger @ Coal Drop's Yard Big Sky Studios A Quiet Place - editorial by Jemima Sara and Oliver Francis Gurls Talk Florence Given Katherine Hamnett    Follow Jemima Sara:  Website Instagram, @jemimasara   To keep up-to-date with everything Fashion Originators: For podcast updates - www.fashionoriginators.com  For Instagram fun - www.instagram.com/fashionoriginatorspodcast For Facebook updates - www.facebook.com/fashionoriginators Thank you so much for listening!

Nail It is the fierce new beauty brand founded by trans activist and author Charlie Craggs, where every nail decal starts a conversation around a trans issue. Her first fight is trans visibility and she’s using it to petition Unicode (the people who decide which emojis appear on our keyboard) over the lack of a transgender flag emoji – the most requested for two years running. Until the community gets its flag they’re hijacking the lobster, and today Charlie tells i-D Arts and Culture Editor Matthew Whitehouse all about it.
