  Speaker 2: Sure, it's only talking. Lovely, easy-going, Irish owl yap and laughter.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: But I swear to God, when we get on a roll,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: it is the most invigorating thing. Not just for us,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: but for every living creature. I do see the rabbits
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: outside the henhouse bouncing two foot higher off the ground
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: when they hear it. And the grass growing greener and
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the rocks... Well, sure there's no talking to them bastards.

  Speaker 2: The Tommy, Hector and Aretha podcast. Wherever you get your podcasts.

  Speaker 1: ACAST is home to the world's best podcasts, including Red Room,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Catch Up with Louise McSharry, and the one you're listening

  Speaker 1: to right now.

  Speaker 3: Pride Daily. Oh, hi there. I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: a Pride Parade's pummeled by the Pope. First, though... The
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: archer and pole dancer taking down transphobes. These bedwetters have
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: been targeting influencer Blumenek and his wife Maisie, falsely claiming
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the pair are transgender. He's sometimes seen pole dancing in
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: a skirt and high-heeled boots, while she, wait for it,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: she's got some muscles. Case closed, Your Honour. Blumen X
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: very articulately pushing back.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Policing people's gender hurts everyone. It hurts transgender people, who,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, are one of the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: most vulnerable populations. But it also hurts all women, whether
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they happen to be taller or stronger or have short
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: hair or wear different makeup or who otherwise don't fit
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: into society's incredibly narrow beauty standards.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Boneheads have called him and Maisie two dudes, said her
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: real name is Max and claimed she's got a bigger
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Adam's apple than him. He's not done putting those cretins
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: on blast, by the way.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And it hurts men who are sick of the paedophiles
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and sex offenders that call themselves role models and are
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: trying to find their own way through life that causes
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: less harm to themselves and others around them. So be masculine,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: be feminine, be neither or be both, but be kind.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: There's nothing to add to that, is there? Next, Colombia
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: is withdrawn from the LGBTQ plus Equal Rights Coalition. The
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: country was meant to be in a joint presidency of
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the group alongside Spain until next year and isn't giving
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a reason for backing out. Colombia's foreign ministry says this
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: won't have a negative impact on minorities. Advocates say it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: massively regressive and a serious setback. And Buenos Aires' pride
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: parade's under threat because of the Pope. Events in public
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: spaces have been banned across Argentina for a week in November,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: when Louis XIV is due to visit. This clashes with
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Pride on the 7th, and organisers have been asked to postpone.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: They're refusing, though, saying it's too late to change all
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the arrangements. No time to tell you that. It's Bi-Visibility Day,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: rounding off Bisexual Awareness Week. And in Australia, Sydney's got
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: its first transgender Deputy Lord Mayor, Ollie Arkins has been
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: on the council since 2024, spearheading efforts to improve the
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: city's nightlife. We're also on your smart speaker, Command It,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to play the latest Pride Daily. That's your lot. I'll
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: see you tomorrow.
