Say All The Damn Things EP: 1.2 Are Trans Athletes Really the Threat to Women’s Sports?

In Episode 2 of Say All the Damn Things, Steph Copley takes on the debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports—and the political firestorm surrounding it.Using the recent WNBA controversy involving Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White as a jumping-off point, Steph breaks the argument down the way this show promised: What’s true? What’s BS? What’s missing? And how can we actually talk about it without reducing everything to political talking points?Steph digs into competitive fairness, eligibility rules, transgender participation, the differences between professional, college and high school sports, and why nuance matters when discussing an issue involving both fairness and humanity.She also asks a bigger question: Are transgender athletes really the biggest threat facing women’s sports—or are women and the WNBA being used as props in a much larger culture war?Plus, Steph pays tribute to Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem, responds to some early feedback on the show, and introduces the first-ever “Slay Baddie” of the episode.Say All the Damn Things is about having the conversations people are told not to have—and refusing to let complicated issues be reduced to slogans.Sponsored by KnoPros Remodeling, Jenny Farrel RE/MAX Concepts, Iowa Beef Steakhouse, and Revelton Distilling Company.🎙️ LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studio.
