Hi, it's Brendan here. Before we get into this week's episode, I'd like to remind you about

spiked supporters. Spiked supporters is our thriving community of people who donate to spiked.

Anyone who gives £5 or more a month or £50 or more a year can become a spiked supporter

and get access to a number of exciting perks. Spiked supporters can comment on articles,

get free and discounted tickets to events, get a discount on all items in our shop,

and bookmark articles as you browse. This is all our way of saying thank you to all of you who

fund our work. Spiked is completely free and yet you still hand over your hard earned cash

to make sure that anyone anywhere can read us. We're really grateful for that.

If you don't give to spiked yet, now is the perfect time to start. Just go to spiked-online.com-supporters

to set up your donation and your spiked supporters account. That spiked-online.com-supporters

note that you are a biological male or a biological female, there's going to be issues when you

are seeking help care. So I don't see how this even benefits trans people.
