In January, Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the trans community by banning some medical care for minors. The move has had a chilling effect across the United States, as doctors withdraw their services for fear of being prosecuted and parents stop accessing medication for their children. But many are fighting back. In one red state, we spoke with a doctor driving across state lines, at great personal risk, to give patients the care she says is needed to save their lives. Now, trans healthcare is also under attack in Australia – with the Queensland government announcing a ban on state-funded gender-affirming care for minors on the same day of Trump’s directive. Today, 7am’s senior producer Cheyne Anderson, on the ordinary people pushing back against Trump’s war on trans people, and how Queensland became the testing ground for bans in Australia.

Frank tells Steph what it was like growing up in Brisbane as an Italian boy with an extremely religious mother, and tyrannical unaffectionate father. Topics include religion, early immigration days, and wine that tastes like pus. This episode is dedicated to Luigia Fornasier, aka Nonnie (14/11/17 - 13/4/2010).

TRANSCRIPT HERE Our first foray into the Darren Aronofsky Mental Illness Universe, today we have the editing genius and dead-pan-ly funny Nic Fornasier to talk about the slap in the face that is REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (2000). Join us as Nic takes us throw what he relates to in the film (and what he absolutely does not relate to), how it compares to other ‘Don't do drugs!' films of the 2000's, and whether Darren Aronofsky's style of filmmaking is genius or film school 101.

HOW TO GROW BEYOND DIVERSITY DATE: 1 June 2022 HOST: David Webley, Founder & MD of Granite Consulting GUEST: Gemma Saunders – Founder and Lead Consultant, Workplace Edit ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode explores diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace, and the ways that organisations are best able to not only nurture a diverse workforce but leverage it for strategic advantage.

With Gemma's first-hand experience working with numerous companies in this space, the webinar is sure to provide many insights and tips that attendees are able to apply in their own teams and organisations. ABOUT GEMMA Gemma is the founder of ‘Workplace Edit', a consultancy that partners with organisations to adapt and leverage the huge amount of value of having a diverse workforce.

‘I think DaBaby is not understanding that the world is changing. And what I will say is that he has to have more of a higher standard of quality when it comes to dealing with people.' Tramel is the star of the popular reality YouTube series G-Status. In 2020 he released the critically-acclaimed EP, ‘Six Page Letter' and this year two follow-up singles, ‘Favourite' and ‘Popped Off'. He discusses his time on the show, and how honest conversations got him into hot water. He also chats about being outed and the legacy effect it had on his education and new-found Queer community.

Today, we're doing it for the kids.Age & Mitch wanted to take a moment talk about the tumultuous minefield that is being queer in your teens. Something we all look back on with... memories. Teaching the children is serious business so the boys thought it would be a good idea to bring in an expert. Enter, Adrian Murdoch. A key part of our favourite Australian queer youth charity - Minus18. Hold onto your hats because Adrian is coming in with a lot of knowledge and even more passion behind them on this fairly complex topic.Expect chats on queer formal, being gay in high school, coming out and queer intersectionality. If that sounds like a lot to swallow, don't panic. There's also a fair chunk of discussion on Marvel movies (for some reason) and what it is about English teachers that make us all swoon!? Between the laughs, you're bound to learn something this week. What did you really expect though, from the reliably educational programming that is Message on the Machine?Make sure you're the first one to press play on every message we leave on your machine by following/subscribing on your favourite podcast platform and leaving us a GLOWING review.

I have a brand new guest joining me in today's episode! Last week I had the chance to sit down with Adrian Murdoch from the incredible LGBQTIA+ youth organisation Minus18, who's goal is to 'build social inclusion, and advocate for an Australia where all young people feel safe, empowered and surrounded by people that support them. Adrian gives an insight into what this amazing organisation strives to achieve. You can find more information on Minus18 at: website: https://www.minus18.org.au/ instagram: @minus18youth FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @icanteventhinkstraightpodcast

(If you are here to find the timestamp to skip over the definitions section, skip from 6.20 to 9.54.)    Some historical figures are riddles wrapped in enigmas wrapped in a vest, with a great manicure. Roberta Cowell is one of them. Raised as a boy, Roberta Cowell was a racing car driver, nearly an accidental assassin, and a World War II fighter pilot and a race car driver again before realising she was a transgender woman. Thus began her next grand plan to have her true sex (her words) realised, and her body match her mind.  Thanks to Erin for providing the voice of Roberta Cowell. Erin is a transgender actress, musician and historian based in Victoria. Thanks also to Ben MacEllen for providing the voice of Michael Dillon. Ben is a transgender actor and LGBTIQA+ activist based in Victoria and his website is benmacellen.com.  This podcast contains discussion of intersexuality, transgender issues, transphobia, gender reassignment surgery, outdated language with regards to transgender and intersex people, brief cruelty to animals, facial injuries, surgery and medical experimentation, war injuries, Nazi atrocities, cruelty to prisoners of war, war rape, attempted sexual assault, and some bad language.  We have elected to use male pronouns for Roberta before she began her transition, as she herself did in her autobiography. Discussion of Roberta after she began her transition will then use female pronouns. In the same vein, we use female pronouns for Michael Dillon before he began his transition, and male pronouns thereafter. We have however avoided using their deadnames.  All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this podcast however with the nature of historical research, there may be mistakes or inconsistencies. The fallible nature of human memory must also be considered and is a point of discussion in this episode. Nicola also misstated the year Roberta and her wife divorced, and it was in actuality, 1952. Wales is also part of the UK, she meant to say "Welsh people moved across the border to England." Should Wales be part of the UK? That's a question for another time.   --   For more information on the podcast, go to womenofwarpod.com or follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @womenofwarpod for updates, sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans.  Donate to Minus18, an Aussie charity that seeks to educate, empower and support queer youth, here: https://www.minus18.org.au/ Check out Intersex Australia, another Aussie charity that aims to empower intersex individuals and educate endosex individuals.

Renowned Chef, DJ, and personality, Khanh Ong, a proud gay man, spent the first few years of his life with his family in an immigration camp as a refugee. We celebrate him as a BIPOC individual in honour of refugee week and pride month. You may remember Khanh appearing on global juggernaut Masterchef 2018, placing third and becoming an instant crowd favourite. Since then he has become part owner in restaurant/bar "The George on Collins", made numerous television appearances and continued to carve out a unique and stylish space in the Australian food industry. Most recently he made top 10 in Masterchef All Stars and has already released his first book, “A Gay Guys Guide to Life, Love, Food” as well the heartwarming “You Are Loved” t-shirt range with part proceeds from each shirt going to LGBTQIA+ youth charity Minus18. We talk about all of this, being "outcast" as a gay Vietnamese refugee, significant family tragedy, coming back to Masterchef a second time and the life experiences that make the wonderful Khanh, Khanh!

Being asexual means you don't really experience sexual desire or attraction. But for a lot of people on the ace spectrum, it's not such an either/or scenario. For some, it can be, well, grey. You might feel sexual attraction from time to time, you might feel romantic attraction, or you might never feel that at all. Nat breaks down the spectrum of asexuality with a few ace people.

Sage speaks to us about growing up in Lebanon, going to an all-girls Catholic private school in Melbourne, the pressures to conform to strict gender norms, and working for Australia's largest youth-driven LGBTIQA+ organization (minus 18). They also talk about experiencing being trans as a gift, undergoing second puberty at the age of 27, their love of camping and being outdoors, and their connection to place.

Tiny Moving Parts have been keeping it all in the family since well before they formed - they're made up of two brothers and a cousin, after all. Coming out of a sleepy town in Minnesota, the band has always dared to be different, mixing their love of emo and pop-punk with a dizzying, mathy approach to instrumentation. It's seen them quickly outgrow the basements they once thrived in, eventually ascending to international acclaim and sold-out tours everywhere they travel. They take none of it for granted, of course - to them, they're still the blink-loving kids just playing for fun that they were when they first started jamming in one another's garages. Ahead of a packed Manning Bar show with Luca Brasi, vocalist/guitarist Dylan Matthiesen and drummer Bill Chevalier share stories of everything from idolising Travis Barker to Fargo tourist attractions as they tell the TMP story as they know it. Tiny Moving Parts' latest album, Swell, is out now.Stream, download and purchase the album here: https://tinymovingparts.bandcamp.com/album/swell Our endless thanks to Cat Clark @ Cooking Vinyl Australia and the invincible Boo Johnston for making this one happen.
