Hard to listen to

Tried to be objective but I just can’t get out of my head that the host has a history of being a monumental liar and cheat who hurt people to try and cover up his dishonesty.

Welcome addition to the conversation

This series of interviews and conversations is such a welcome addition to the conversation of how to include trans athletes in (women’s) athletics.

Interviews with trans athletes—those supportive of and against including trans women in female divisions, ethicists and philosophers, and promises of professors of developmental biology to come, all come together to give a wide-ranging exploration of the different sides and angles to this topic.

I dare anyone to listen to the whole series and maintain the same views they had period to listening.
