The World Uncut

51. Transgender Athletes


Listen Later

Nath & Ameliya are back after a little break to sell houses and change jobs. You know, the usual! 

Back with a bang, fresh off the news of Basketball Australia banning Lexi Rodgers from competing in Victoria, Ameliya and Nath dive into this most dividing of issues, transathletes in sport. 

The team discuss how to strike a balance between all these competing interests, from the athletes themselves, women in general, competition equality, and the too often forgotten, mental health of these athletes themselves. 

It's a space for learning and challenging one another as Nath and Ameliya each 'peer over different sides of the fence' to hear out each others perspective on the issue and how they're both open to the idea of being wrong. 

If you enjoyed this discussion we encourage you to go back in the podcast history to find the 2 part Interview Nath conducted with Hannah Mouncey, one of Australias inaugural transitioned athletes, who competed for Australia Internationally for both mens and womens handball.
