Something particularly infuriating about the last few years is the never-ending torrent of conversations and decisions about trans people's right to exist which take place without any trans people actually having a voice. Sometimes the level of ignorance is so extreme that it would almost be funny if it wasn’t being used as the basis to try and kick us out of society, but when it’s judges, or politicians, or employers that are choosing to get all of their ‘facts’ from anti-trans hate groups it’s not funny—it’s dangerous and negligent.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded with Rod Jones of Scottish rock titans Idlewild at his Post Electric Studio in Leith, Edinburgh, new album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike A Heartbeat \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis undeniably The Spook School’s most fully realised, cohesive, and sonically refined record to date.
