🎙️ Proudcast – Episode Title: How to be a cis ally
Hosted by: Catherine Goodall (she/her), Heather Paterson (she/her), Paige Hughes (she/her), and Luca Straker (they/them)
In this episode of Proudcast, we’re diving into what it really means to be a good cis ally to the trans and non-binary community. Whether you’re new to allyship or looking to deepen your activism, we share practical ways to stand in solidarity – from writing to your MP to showing up in your everyday life.
We also discuss the recent EHRC consultation, unpacking how it relates to the UK Supreme Court’s ruling and what it means for trans rights in the current political landscape.
Paige introduces her brilliant new t-shirt campaign Me&T, which is all about visibility, support, and funding vital trans-led work.
Heather shares some personal reflections on identity through her music and how creativity can be a powerful tool for connection and advocacy.
Catherine and Luca join the group in highlighting everyday ways cis people can show up – from calling out transphobia to amplifying trans voices.
🏳️⚧️ This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to do more than just say they’re an ally. Let’s move beyond performative gestures and into active, informed solidarity.
