Australia’s Peter De Waal chronicles the road to liberation; the U.K. Supreme Court decides that transgender women are not always women, the U.S. removes gender dysphoria from the list of protected disabilities, a Norwegian trans politician says her country should offer asylum to U.S. queers, Hungarian lawmakers rubber-stamp Orban’s LGBTQ Pride ban, and Trump defunds the memorial to North Carolina’s trailblazing queer activist Pauli Murray. Those stories and more this week when you find “This Way Out.” [The youtube video mentioned in the De Waal feature is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp1o3DsRYpk And the book can only be purchased in the U.S. here: https://www.amazon.com/Wasnt-Dutch-Courage-Peter-Waal/dp/1763792366]
