In this episode, we tackle one of the most explosive debates in sport and society today—should transgender women be allowed to compete in female sports? With US President Donald Trump pushing executive orders to ban trans athletes from women's competitions, Australian Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has thrown his support behind the move, calling it "not in the spirit of sport."
We break down the global implications of Trump’s crackdown—how it’s reshaping policies on sex, healthcare, and funding, and why institutions like the NCAA are already enforcing bans. Meanwhile, lawsuits are emerging as parents, athletes, and advocacy groups fight back.
Is this about fairness and protecting women’s sports, or is it a dangerous step towards discrimination? With the debate reaching Australia, we examine how Dutton’s stance could influence local policies, the Olympics, and the future of inclusion in sport.
Join us as we unpack the science, the law, and the real-world impact of this political battleground.
