Tested - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As a non binary person who struggled so much growing up with feelings of self hatred, shame, and feeling like the world did not want me included in it, this podcast is so validating and important. If we could draw on our empathy and really understand what trans and gender variant people go through we wouldn’t be so caught up in thinking that medals and upholding the binary was so crucial. Thank you for such a thorough, thoughtful and beautiful expose and story.

This review is a remarkable piece of journalism! It thoroughly examines the discriminatory policing of female athlete bodies, revealing how scientific facts are being distorted and women, as well as female minority groups, are being targeted systematically. The fact that male athletes with differences in sexual development (DSD) are not subjected to similar testing exposes how hormone levels are used to discriminate against female athletes. It's disheartening to see this happening, and I truly hope for a future where we can rise above such practices.

Perfect when you want something serious, factual, and about important questions, but not the least bit dull.

This is about issues that are very topical and perplexing and feature interviews with sympathetic people who are caught in the midst of it. The host is thoughtful and engaging; she’s a pleasure to listen to and seems open-minded and curious on the question of « what is fair? »

She also does a great job putting this into a historical context. The difference between what people generally think on these matters today and what « we » thought 100 years ago is mind-blowing.

Such informative, engrossing, and inspiring reporting. Thank you for making this podcast, diving deep into this topic, and telling these athletes stories. I hope this helps make positive change for more inclusive sports at all levels
