This week's Trans Sporter Room continues our deeper look into trans athletes stories that many haven't heard, but need to hear.

In 2011, the NCAA began their transgender student-athlete policies.

That same year, a volleyball player at Division III Purchase College in New York stepped into their truth as a transgender man, and said that they want to play on the men's team in the sport -- After playing two years on the women's team.

The NCAA provided a pathway, and Taylor Edelmann walked it, not only becoming a player, but also a team captain. Save a few articles his senior year, including one by Outsports, what happened largely flew under the radar.

Edelmann was among the first.

Karleigh Webb sat down with Edelmann in a far-reaching interview that looks back, but also looks at how making a piece of collegiate sports history as affected him as an LGBTQ health care advocate, husband and father.
