In honour of IDAHOBIT week, join Sam Elkin in conversation about his new book Detachable Penis: A Queer Legal Saga, detailing Sam’s transition and work as a LGBTIQ outreach lawyer. Beginning in the wake of the 2017 plebiscite into marriage equality, Detachable Penis delves into rising conservatism against trans inclusion in sport and healthcare, the legal battles towards birth certificate reform and more.
