This week, we discuss Castor Semenya and the controversy surrounding intersex & transgender athletes. We talk about the definition of intersex, the rules around competing against females and if there’s a way forward that can please everyone.
Where should the line be drawn when deciding who can compete in the female category in sport?
Is this even the right question? Should there only be one set of rules?
Is there a way to treat all people fairly?
Are the media telling people everything about this particular, significant case?
