Following the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law, Julie tells us how and why we got here.

This is a fascinating history not just of women's rights, but of the distinct needs of the lesbian and gay communities.

If you've wondered how this issue became so big and how it's come to dominate so much of our discourse, Julie is here to explain the roots of it all.

This is absolutely compelling.
