  Speaker 1: Acast recommends... We said we'd keep it tight. We would
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: 100% lie. We did. I'm Deirdre O'Kane. I'm Eva Dord.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So keep it tight is basically the unfiltered chats that
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we normally have in the WhatsApp. The kind of carry-on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you'd screech off for your mate. Maybe not your mum.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: No overthinking. We kind of just let it all out.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And somehow, people keep showing up to hear more. Follow
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Keep It Tight wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday. Now brought to you by Acast.

  Speaker 2: ACAST is home to the world's best podcasts, including Red Room,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Catch Up with Louise McSharry, and the one you're listening
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to right now.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Hi there, I'm Kev McGrath. Coming up, what twins tell
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: us about being trans? First though, an attempt to ban
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: puberty blockers in South Australia has failed. The far-right One
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Nation Party decided this was a priority, wasting parliamentary time
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and public money on a vote. They lost. These boneheads
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to jail health professionals for five years for providing
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: treatment to transgender children. One Nation's Corey Bernardi's been leading
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the charge on this, and he is so gangster.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Gender-affirming care clinics are tampering with children. We shouldn't allow
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: that to happen, and that's why One Nation has a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: bill to stop puberty blockers in this state. It's ruining
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the lives of children. Let them make decisions as adults
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and stop being the pawns of social engineers.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: As opposed to the pawns of culture war clowns. Bernardi's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: currently suspended from Facebook for his video showing school kids
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: while he insulted them. Earlier this year, the bad retter
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: said he 100% stands by his comments from 2012 linking
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: same-sex marriage to bestiality. Next, 35 queer people have been
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: murdered in Honduras this year. New stats from the country's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Observatory of Violence Against LGBTI Plus Persons finds 11 transgender
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: women and 10 gay men among the victims. Also got
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: nearly 200 cases of other types of anti-queer violence, with
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: trans women again the worst affected. Authorities are being accused
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of indifference in a country that's extremely hostile to LGBTQ
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: plus people. And new claims genetics play a part in
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: gender identity, coming off the back of a study of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: identical twins. An Australian Children's Research Institute's found if one
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: twin is trans, there's a 21.2% likelihood the other will be.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: For the general population, it's just a 1 to 2% chance.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So the experts reckon genes must have a bearing on
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this alongside environmental influences. Basically, Knuckle-draggers can't just say it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a choice and try to push conversion therapy. No time
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to tell you that. Iceland has standardised its blood donation rules,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: so they're now the same regardless of sexuality or gender identity.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Switzerland's government says it supports having a national conversion therapy
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: ban rather than the current mix of rules across different areas.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong Lesbian and Gay Film Festival kicks off today
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for the next two and a half weeks. In the UK,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you've got the first ever Brighton Dyke Pride tomorrow, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's the inaugural Lesbian History Day on Sunday. There's more
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: on our socials, at Pride Daily Pod, including any breaking news.
