Debunking Myths About Trans Athletes With Ellie Roscher

Trans athletes are often treated as a political issue. For Ellie Roscher, they’re her students, her community, and the reason she’s rethinking what fairness really means. Ellie, author of Fair Game, joins the pod to discuss listening to your body and yourself. She reflects on teaching theology at a Catholic school, learning from her trans students, and her journey as a gymnast whose chronic pain wasn’t believed. This episode explores how fairness becomes personal—and why it matters in women’s sports.
