Ep. 195: Trans Women and Trans Girls Belong in Women's Sport

This week Jessica, Shireen and Lindsay discuss the most recent wave of anti-trans bills being debated in state houses across the US and the ways that anti-trans violence is couched in the rhetoric of protecting women's sport. They also talk about the many benefits of including trans kids in sport, what collegiate governing bodies are doing (or not doing) and how transphobic policy in sport is a horrific on a global scale. You'll also hear The Burn Pile, Torchbearers of the week -- including new co-owner and executive of The Atlanta Dream, former Dream star Renee Montgomery -- as well as What's Good and What We're Watching.  This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
