Explore the complex and often misunderstood world of transgender athletes in sports. Delving into the history and current controversies, learn about the myths and misinformation surrounding "biological advantages." Examine the discriminatory nature of recent sports bans targeting transgender individuals, and discover how similar arguments have been historically used to marginalize other minority groups. Look at the real world impact of these sports bans, and how they might touch places you didn't think about. Get a better understanding of what transgender inclusion means for society at large. Led by Erin Reed (she/her), a transgender journalist based in Washington, D.C. She tracks LGBTQ+ legislation around the United States for her subscription newsletter, "Erin In The Morning." Her work has been cited by the AP, Reuters, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and many more major media outlets.
