Introduction

Jonathan Kay is a senior editor at Quilet, an independent grassroots platform for heterodox ideas and fearless commentary. This week he talks with Marcie Smith, co-founder of Icons, a group that lobbies for the protection of female sport. In recent months, world athletics has voted to exclude biological men from competing in elite female competitions if they have gone through male puberty. But much of the media still peddles the claim that such exclusions are inherently transphobic.
