Episode Synopsis

Episode 75 examines how the Olympics and global federations have increasingly barred transgender women who experienced male puberty from competing in female categories, citing enduring biological advantages and safety concerns. It highlights the political and cultural divide, with most countries and U.S. states favoring restriction while California insists on inclusion, fueling a national clash over fairness versus civil rights. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Rachel Corbett, an American journalist and author whose latest book, The Monsters We Make: Murder, Obsession, and the Rise of Criminal Profiling (2025), traces the evolution of profiling from Victorian-era cases to modern predictive policing.Website for the podcast: https://www.nfllp.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
