“The #Transathletica docuseries on TikTok is doing a great job looking at the topic of trans people in sports with information, perspective and human stories instead of fearmongering [sic]”
“TransAthletica uses Rigg’s story as a way into broader issues. Is hormone testing the best mechanism for determining who can play, and in which category? Isn’t the notion of an “unfair” physical advantage at the very heart of elite sports anyway?”
“Amazing and very timely”
