  • Summary

  • Who gets to decide if you're "woman enough" to play women's sports? Michael Water's new book, The Other Olympians, examines the long history of sex-testing at the Games through the lens of two trans athletes from the 1930s. Almost a century later, sex-testing in competitive sports remains in effect, with some global sports federations banning certain athletes from participating in the Paris games. For contemporary context, we're joined by Frankie de la Cretaz, a journalist who regularly writes about the intersection of gender, queerness and sports.
