The Playing Field:
The Battle Over Transgender Athletes
​
​​​From CNN Original, The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper
At least 24 states in the US have already passed some form of ban on trans student athletes. “The Playing Field: The Battle Over Transgender Athletes” takes a deep look at the stories of those targeted by this legislation, following them for more than a year. The episode follows the emotional journey of a trans high school softball player, who advocates for her right to play on her school’s girls’ softball team all the way to the Ohio State Senate. It also features the story of a trans college swimmer in New Jersey hoping to successfully petition the NCAA to allow her to switch from competing on the men’s team to the women’s team.
