Right-Wing Media Targets Trans Athletes




By Any Means Necessary show

Summary: In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Karleigh Webb, an athlete, activist, journalist, socialist, contributor to @Outsports and host of the TransSporter Room to discuss the targeting of transgender NCAA swimmers Lia Thomas and Iszac Henig by right-wing media to score political points, how right-wing media uses sports as a vector for transphobic rhetoric, the misleading portrayal of Cynthia Millen by right-wing media as a concerned citizen despite her history as a transphobic and homophobic writer, and what the NCAA can do to stamp out this information and protect transgender athletes.
