About the Episode
Gender and sex in sports remains a sensitive topic. At this year’s Games, trans athletes are subject to stricter regulations than in the past. Although this seems like a recent issue, the topic goes back to the 1930s. In his new book, “The Other Olympians,” historian Michael Waters details the stories of trans athletes who competed then. He joins the show to speak about the challenges they faced.
