They / Them / Theirs

Katy Lee and Dominic Kraemer
About this episode

This week we're talking about transgender rights in Europe with the author and activist CN Lester, whose wonderful book Trans Like Me gets its mainstream paperback release on Thursday. And on a continent where young people mostly stayed at home for the last elections, Mick ter Reehorst calls in to explain why he's launched a new campaign, #ProveThemWrong, to get out the youth vote in May. Plus: winter bacon, sticking it to the homophobes, and a mile-high culture clash between France and the Netherlands.


Check out CN's work at cnlester.com!
Get the youth vote out at provethemwrong.eu!
And watch this great video about women getting the vote in Switzerland!
