<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://clareflourish.wordpress.com/2025/01/01/quaker-transphobes-and-allies/">Fascinating and disturbing account</a> of an outspoken Quaker* UK anti-trans activist named Emma Roberts who has started a video podcast interviewing prominent Friends. Most of the episodes have nothing to do with gender and sexuality but some do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The asterisk up is there because the podcaster apparently renounced their membership in the Society of Friends when Britain Yearly Meeting passed a minute on trans inclusion. I appreciate someone disagreeing with a yearly meeting resolution and even staying in the fold despite the opposition. But when an affirming minute that doesn’t actually affect you (just your ideology) is such a burden that you leave… well then the question is why you would put such effort into a podcast of your ex-religion. it doesn’t seem like a project borne in good faith.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Clair does a great job bringing the receipts and explaining the context (I haven’t been following the details of the UK back-and-forth on this).</p>
