Chaverim (friends),
In continuation of our elevation of transgender experience this pride month…
Please enjoy this excellent Dax Shepard interview with historian Susan Stryker, whose new book details the history of the transgender experience in the US. She particularly offers nuance to questions around transgender athletes at around 1:10.
As a heads-up, Dax Shepard is a deeply intelligent but often irreverent interviewer. You might know him from the show Parenthood and some potty-humor movie roles. I think of his podcast, Armchair Expert, as a cross between Terry Gross and Howard Stern (Who is also an extraordinary interviewer despite the irreverence and baggage).
Enjoy!
