WTF Is Going On With The Wing?

It's been a big week for Instagram apologies, resignations and cancellations. We look at the mass controversy surrounding The Wing - once dubbed the 'feminist Utopia' and now mired by a string of shocking staff abuse claims - many racially motivated. With the likes of Bon Appetit and Man Repeller among the media companies pulled into the fray, we ask whether or not white editors resignations actually help things (or is it just a cop out?) and what does a road to redemption look like? Plus, 15,000 people marched for Black Trans lives in Brooklyn - how are the feminist, BLM and LGTBQ+ movements failing our trans community? Don't forget to rate review, subscribe and share this ep! <3
