This podcast is so good! Great storytelling. Sharing stories that haven’t been told/shared widely. Used sport to remind us to think outside of the binary. Appreciated the book recommendations shared throughout.

Excellent podcast!! My only criticism is that the author should have also interviewed women athletes in the middle of the trait distribution and asked them about their questions and feelings. The podcast rightly focuses on complexities and inclusion but the complexity and potential pain involves everybody in the distribution of a trait. I do think a lot of people in the major sport organizations are trying to do their best with an incredibly complex and painful issue that affects athlete lives. To sum up, while I really enjoyed the podcast and admire the intention of explaining this difficult topic and the pain of the affected athletes, I think it was a bit too partisan. Nevertheless, it’s a great listen! So thank you!

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.

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.
