Listen for free

Laura is an integrated trans woman. Yvette is gender critical.

They disagree on a lot when it comes to sex and gender, but agree it's better to talk about their differences and try to understand each other's perspective, rather than to assume the worst about each other.

Every week, they will have an open and civil discussion about current events pertaining to sex, gender and trans issues, and will have a civil and respectful discussion about contentious areas of disagreement

She is a sports journalist with 33 years experience as a television sports reporter/anchor, producer and now as a contributing sportswriter to Outsports.com.

Karleigh is also an avid cycling, runner, triathlete/duathlete and is in her fourth season of women's football playing for the Connecticut Ambush of the American Women's Football League. Karleigh joins us to make her case about why trans women belong in women's sports at all levels. We discuss the implications of trans women's participation in contact vs. noncontact sports, competitive vs. recreational, and on the role sports can play in creating a sense of belonging for trans women Needless to say, this becomes a source of vigorous debate for Laura and especially Yvette who is firmly protective of women's sports being for biological women. This discussion gets lively and contentious, but remains civil throughout, as we continue to model how to have impactful conversations about controversies in the world of gender
