What should the conversation about transgender athletes sound like?

from Phantom Island

Freelance writer Sydney Bauer joins Ryan Nanni to review the WNBA's summer tumult over transgender athletes, what those stories revealed about the media's ability to provide necessary context and nuance to a complex topic, why the discussion always seems to focus on hypotheticals and not real people, and how one profile sprawled into almost every other topic in the WNBA. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
