Chapter 1: What happened in the NHS regarding trans healthcare?

2676.943 - 2688.252 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yep, and I think that's as good of a place as Endy to stop, unless you have anything else you want to make sure people know about about this. No, I think that's it. Yeah, thank you so much for coming on the show, and where can people find you and your work?

0

2689.052 - 2709.128 Mia Wong

Yeah, thank you for having me. I... I can primarily be found on blue sky. That is the main place I post now. Yeah. I'm at me realizing that blue sky duck social beyond that. You'll probably see one of my articles published around because I am constantly working my ass off.

0

2710.6 - 2722.57 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yeah, so this is what could happen here. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, there's still time for this not to happen here. So, yeah, go organize and go make West Street and the BBC have a bad day. Hell yeah.

0

2740.393 - 2770.198 Hope Woodard

Have you ever thought about going voiceover? I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation. To most people, I'm the girl behind VoiceOver, the movement that exploded in 2024. VoiceOver is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships. It's more than personal. It's political, it's societal, and at times, it's far from what I originally intended it to be.

0

2770.979 - 2787.288 Hope Woodard

These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be voiceover to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships. I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us think about how we love each other.

2787.688 - 2797.491 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

It's a very, very normal experience to have times where a relationship is prioritizing other parts of that relationship that aren't being naked together. How we love our family.

2797.671 - 2803.573 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me, but the price is too high. And how we love ourselves.

2803.873 - 2807.974 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now.

2808.054 - 2815.556 Hope Woodard

Let me hear it. Listen to VoiceOver on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Chapter 2: How did the UK Supreme Court impact trans rights?

3006.769 - 3026.595 James Stout

Hi, everyone, and welcome to It Could Happen Here. It's me, James, today, here to bring you more terrible news about migration and deportation. And I'm joined to share that terrible news by Gillian Brockel, a journalist who has been tracking deportation flights to Djibouti. Hi, Gillian.

0

3026.835 - 3028.156 Gillian Brockel

Hi, how are you, James?

0

3028.236 - 3031.617 James Stout

I'm good. Well, amidst the crumbling of everything, it's wonderful.

0

3031.877 - 3039.866 Gillian Brockel

Yeah. I mean, this is terrible news, but I'm also very excited to be in the Cool Zone universe. I love all of the shows.

0

3040.575 - 3045.917 James Stout

Yeah, welcome. Welcome to the Coulton universe. It's a Sophie Lichterman comic universe.

3048.637 - 3048.937 James Stout

Okay.

3049.518 - 3063.181 James Stout

The United States government attempted to deport 12 men, none of whom are Libyan, to Libya on the 7th of May, right? It got so far as to take them to the airport, right?

3063.201 - 3065.062 Gillian Brockel

Mm-hmm, in San Antonio.

3065.362 - 3092.539 James Stout

In San Antonio, Texas. And then thanks to a injunction, a court injunction, those people were not taken to Libya. Those people were instead returned to a detention center where, as listeners of the show will now be aware, they were informed that they were being deported, renditioned, however you want to say it, to South Sudan. This news broke a couple of days ago now, I think Tuesday.

Chapter 3: What is the situation with immigration court currently?

4495.183 - 4497.624 James Stout

Like we should try whatever we can right now.

0

4498.533 - 4516.048 Gillian Brockel

Yeah, and I mean, now that Ireland knows this is happening, you know, I don't know what happened with the Garda on Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning. I don't know if they were able to board the plane, if they tried to stop it and couldn't. I have no idea.

0

4516.068 - 4516.549 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yeah, yeah.

0

4517.089 - 4540.647 Gillian Brockel

Now that they know this is happening, maybe they can look a little bit deeper into their laws and regulations and find a justification so that if this happens again, they can be prepared to respond. I know that the Irish are exemplars in human rights. And so if anybody is going to do something, it might be them.

0

4541.164 - 4545.609 James Stout

Yeah, yeah. I know RTE are now camped out at the airport waiting for the plane to come back.

4545.669 - 4551.095 Gillian Brockel

Yeah, I know. I wish they had checked with the avgeeks first because the plane's not on the way. It's not in the air.

4551.155 - 4562.328 James Stout

It hasn't left the building. Look at the court proceedings. It's going to be three weeks. But yeah, it's great. You've made this an issue there, which I think it helps. Like all this stuff makes a difference.

4562.708 - 4586.161 Gillian Brockel

I mean, I just, I want the Irish people to realize, because none of their lawmakers have said it yet, that Irish authorities knew when the plane was on the ground at Shannon, that there were people who were possibly being illegally detained on this specific airplane. I just want them to know that.

4586.701 - 4587.221 James Stout

Yeah, yeah.

Chapter 4: What are the developments in the asylum system?

Chapter 5: How is deportation happening in the US?

4495.183 - 4497.624 James Stout

Like we should try whatever we can right now.
