Summary
The UK Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The decision came following a six-year legal case between the Scottish government and the women's rights group For Women Scotland, regarding equalities legislation. Kylie Pentelow is joined by legal commentator Joshua Rozenberg to discuss this decision.
Roblox is the UK’s most popular game platform for children aged eight to 12, but what are the risks? Kylie speaks to Hannah Estcourt, the Associate Director from Revealing Reality about their research into the risks facing young users, and BBC Senior Reporter Graham Fraser explains how the platform works and why some parents have concerns.
The Commonwealth, gold-medal-winning, hockey player Tess Howard has long campaigned for hockey players to be able to wear shorts, rather than the traditional skort. She's now officially been honoured with an MBE for her services to inclusive sportswear for women and girls.
Stephanie Yeboah is a writer, journalist, and body image advocate. She joins Kylie to discuss her debut romantic comedy novel, Chaotic Energy - a story full of heart, humour, and honesty, following a confident Black woman – Temz - navigating work, love, and social media mishaps. Rising star of classic retro music Georgia Crandon joins Kylie to talk about her music, overcoming social anxiety in the music business, and she performs live in the studio.
Presented by Kylie Pentelow Producer: Louise Corley
