Great interview (34 mins also on YouTube) by Beckie Sauerbrunn (long-time LGBT ally throughout her soccer career and still today with her podcast) on “Teaming Up” on The Women’s Game podcast with Dr Anna Baeth, author of "Fair Game: Trans Athletes and the Future of Sports" (made in collaboration with trans athlete Chris Mosier).

CW for discussing transphobia and transmisogyny and for this topic being discussed by two cis women.

“We actually do know what leads to athletic advantage… bottom-line, people who have access to sports at a young age, who have access to coaches, who are well-resourced, well-supported at home… those are the athletes who excel.”

“That brings up the importance of being an ally […] the importance of using our voice and taking some of that burden away, and using our privilege”

"The move revives sex testing, which was previously dropped in part due to the emotional distress inflicted upon female athletes who discovered their biological makeup was actually more complicated than they were aware of."

By Nicoletta Lanese, Kristina Killgrove published February 7, 2026

Excerpt: "When normalized for height, 'transgender women, after gender-affirming hormone therapy, do not show greater strength or aerobic capacity than cisgender women,' Gualano said. That included both upper and lower-body strength."
