Show Notes
Brianna Ghey was a loved, talented 16-year-old girl with her life ahead of her. She was also trans, and suffered transphobia hatred. Almost exactly a year ago, she was brutally murdered, and the two young killers have been sentenced. Crucially, the judge acknowledged the role of transphobia in this hideous crime.
I speak to the brilliant Jess O'Thomson, a journalist and legal researcher, who sat through the whole case - about not just what happened to Brianna, but what it says about our society, and what we all now must learn.
