Nancy and Sarah tackle the week’s most controversial Olympics bout, when Algerian boxer Imane Khelif defeated Italian boxer Angela Carini in a 46-second fight. JK Rowling howled! JK Rowling-haters roared back at her! Has anyone ever cared this much about women’s boxing?

This actually isn’t a story about trans women in sports — though it kicked up plenty of opinions about that subject — but a more nuanced discussion of how genetic abnormalities should play out in athletics. Our roving conversation covers:

* DSD cases (Differences in sexual development)

* Why is boxing called “the sweet science”?

* The spectacle of women being hit —> kind of uncomfortable

* Title IX was never intended to expand women’s sports, but it did anyway

* What kind of sports do girls want to play?

* The golden age of female trick riders

* Stella Walsh, early intersex Olympic champion

* How much do men hate seeing women cry?

* The old Italian woman who yells Sarah to sleep each night

* But wait: What is a man?

… and much more!
