A transgender woman in the University of Pennsylvania, Lia Thomas has two confirmed A-cut qualifying marks in the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in Atlanta in March.

Joining Karleigh Webb this week is a pair of guest coming from different sides of the issue. Sports Illustrated Copy Chief and writer Julie Kliegman has been on this beat as a reporter for the last year, and will look at how the new policy will affect sports, and how media has affected perceptions about issues and the trans community in greater detail.
Also sitting in: Oberlin College (OH) diver Lucas Draper. Young trans man competing at the college level who recently wrote an editorial at swimmingworldmagazine.com clapping back on the brickbats and venom thrown in Thomas' direction. Draper took a great deal of criticism and open transphobia for his views. He'll talk about why her took a stand as a student and as an athlete.
