Hate that my podcast is extremely relevant here but... it is. You can hear about the history of these kinds of sex tests and ideas around testosterone on Tested: link.chtbl.com/Rose_
Is end game for the IOC and other sporting codes to ban all non-alpha males (?) from participating in sport?
ZOMG I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE HERE. I have LOVED this series so much, and appreciate the time, care, thought, and skill you put into it. I think it's helped explain some hard truths to my kids, and just helped me be more informed overall. I cannot thank you enough. It's amazing work.
Coincidentally, I just finished listening to your series this morning. So good and so infuriating, all at once. Thank you for all your work on it. I was struck again by how much of patriarchal white supremacy is about monopolizing the power to define gender, sex, and race, and imposing on others.
Fantastic work, Rose, I really appreciated this timely and infuriating addition to the Olympics conversation! I binged the whole thing this morning on my favorite neighborhood hike (on which I often see a gorgeous flicker in the eucalyptus trees, along with today’s flock of adorable baby quail)
FYI, am hearing from the runners I know -- as in people who run the Boston Marathon runners -- that they LOVE YOUR PODCAST. Also a lot of science instructors in my circles. You are super famous for doing this great work, which is being roundly welcomed.
So excited to put this in my syllabus for an undergraduate gene regulation class I instruct! I love running and genetics and the biology of sex, and this has it all.
Rose, thank you so much for this podcast! Everyone should listen to it! 💕
