The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 91: Alpha News Hit Piece and the Legacy of Renee Richards
To start this week’s show, I discuss my recent “Trans 101” workshop for the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office and address a right-wing hit piece by Alpha News attacking my inclusivity work. I also share my thoughts on a conservative legal center labeling my training “abhorrent.” Later, I am joined by journalist and author Julie Kliegman to discuss her new book exploring the life of transgender tennis pioneer Renée Richards, including Renée’s groundbreaking fight to compete in the 1977 US Open and her complex legacy in today’s trans sports debate. Finally, I wrap up the episode with some positive news bites, covering Senator Ed Markey’s primary victory in Massachusetts and a crucial federal court ruling protecting transgender athletes in California.
