Manage episode 364150429 series 2860623
Acclaimed writer Frankie de la Cretaz joins the show to talk about intersections of gender, sexuality and sports. Why is Lia Thomas posed by some as a threat to women's swimming while Katie Ledecky isn't? What elements specific to swimming make it such fertile ground for transphobia? How is the Biden Administration trying to have its cake & eat it while doing nothing to protect young trans athletes? What part is the NFL not saying out loud as it invests millions of dollars in women's flag football while women's tackle football remains undersupported and unregulated? Can women's sports grow in a meaningfully positive way if we measure their progress by capitalist benchmarks? Tune in & find out.
