As the conversation around #TransAthletes competing in sport continues to happen, we catch up with Joanna Harper, a scientist, International #Olympic Committee adviser, competitive runner and also a transgender woman. Harper has been involved in numerous studies - including  investigating exactly what happens when athletes transition from male to female. Joanna Harper was the first transgender woman to consult with the International Olympic Committee on gender. Join Niamh and Joanne on the It's Just Sport Podcast as Joanna Harper speaks on this incredibly complex topic from all three aspects – science/physiology, performance and as a transgender person herself.
