And Now for the Fine Print…
Yes, it’s that part of the show where we get legal — but keep it proudly queer.
Sophie Jest is back for her second guest appearance — because once just wasn’t enough. Lawyer by day, lead singer of queer punk band RUB by night, she’s the kind of guest who can give you legal advice and scream into a mic — in the best possible way.
In this episode, Sophie unpacks the realities of navigating the legal system as an LGBTQ+ person in Australia. We talk about:
The concept of minority stress
How to speak to the police.
Where discrimination still exists — in trans healthcare, workplace laws, and the migration system
How to access queer-friendly legal advice and support
She gives us solid legal tips we hope you never need, but if you do — you’ll be glad you listened.
