John Oliver on the great debate over trans athletes

Oliver devoted this entire 42-minute episode of “Last Week Tonight” to digging into the issue of trans athletes in women’s sports.

Beyond his jokes, Oliver and his staff did a lot of digging into some of the most highly publicized examples that have fueled the public outcry, and the data that Oliver cites just don’t support the hysteria and the rush to anti-trans legislation.

I’m going to see if there’s a transcript available, which would lend itself to some bullet points highlighting the main points in this episode.

    This is a terrific analysis with lots of corroborating data and logical reasoning. Both of those are things that aren’t applied by the red hat crowd.

    Thanks for the link. I shared it on Facebook. Of course my MAGA friends aren’t going to watch it. But that won’t stop them from making the usual baseless criticisms.
