"Associate producer Joe Virgillito speaks with Julie Kliegman, Copy Chief for Sports Illustrated, about trans athlete bans going into effect in states across the country, the invasiveness of these laws, and how this issue has become a culture war cudgel. You can follow her on Twitter @jmkliegman and you can find her writing on this topic in a thread on that account.
