Our guest discusses the science behind policies for transgender athletes.

In recent years, the participation of transgender athletes in sports at all levels has become a widespread debate. Supporters rally for inclusion, while critics say it can create unfair competition. In Indiana, House Bill 1041, which would prohibit transgender girls from participating in K-12 sports, has gained national attention. We speak with Joanna Harper about what the science says.
