The Pink Elephant
We need to talk about the elephant in the room. A podcast about what's happening in Scotland that no one's talking about. Children, childhood, culture, healthy communities. Kate Deeming developed dance projects for kids globally in educational and community settings for 30 years before being cancelled by the dance sector for questioning the narrow social justice mantras that were being embedded across culture. A long time advocate for children and childhood join Kate as she tries to make sense of the madness and give voice to the voiceless.

2. Trans Self Id in Glasgow Nurseries
In this podcast I look at how self id is being implemented in education specifically in Glasgow nurseries. I tell a story of a 4 year old who comes home from nursery distressed about a 'man woman' in the pre-school and her mother told they will 're-educate her' to adjust. Are basing laws on a lie a good way to legislate? There are worrying moves as EIS (Scotland's largest teaching union) voted (unlawfully) to support a policy of self-id in schools. Yet Jenni Minto MSP for Public Health states 'there is no gender ideology in Scottish schools'. We are living in cloud cuckoo land over here, and children are the victims.
