Comedian Anna Piper Scott, who has come out as transgender, and has stepped back into the stand-up spotlight this year joins us tonight on the episode discussing transitioning in the spotlight, comedy and conversations outside the binary and more.

We also speak some trans people who are painting trans flags around Melbourne, as we discuss what this kind of visibility and inclusion means for those marginalised in our communities.

And in a new segment, Rachel has dived into the news in our Monthly media-watch segment. Looking at the highs and lows of Australian Media coverage of issues relevant to the LGBTIQA+ community and the larger fight for equality.

This episode of The Informer on JOY 94.9 was hosted by Dean Arcuri
