As the discourse on trans people becomes more toxic in the UK - comedian, trans woman and nuisance Jen Ives is here to sort it all out, hun. Is JK Rowling the devil? Can a man love a trans woman and still truly be straight? And how long can Jen get away with taking maternity leave from work? Finalist: Funny Women, Laughing Horse, Leicester Mercury. 'Great company' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Jen Ives is a wonderful comedian. I've discovered her comedy in recent years, and I can't get enough of it.' (James Acaster).
