A big win for women this week as President Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. The Dept. of Education is tasked with investigating violations of the new Title IX rule. The conversation around transgender athletes in women's sports came to a head when transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, on the UPenn swimming team, was criticized for competing against female athletes. Former UPenn swimmer, and former teammate of Lia Thomas, Margot Kaczorowski talks about her experience competing with a transgender athlete and why she thinks the executive order is a step in the right direction.
