The International Olympic Committee has announced it will end its trans-athlete policy in March, just after the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Instead, the Olympics are offering a 10-point framework to encourage each individual sports' governing body to create its own policies around who can compete in the women's category. Kirsti Miller joins us this week from Australia to talk about the new policy. The trans athlete has advocated for changes to sporting policy for trans athletes for years. This new policy reflects some of what Miller has been pushing for years, namely a framework that is built around each individual sport and athlete. She talks about the effects that transitioning has had on her, and why she is so encouraged by the new IOC policy. You can follow Kirsti Miller on Twitter. Learn more about your ad choices.
