CeCé Telfer, the first out transgender athlete to win an NCAA title, joins Sarah to discuss her fraught relationship with International Transgender Day of Visibility, why self-care means so much to her, and the reason she’s willing to talk to politicians – even those who oppose transgender women in sports – about her lived experience. Plus, the Sweet 16 is here, and a What The Fact that combats a common narrative.
