How do we call people in to the fight? ✶ with Blair Imani

Schuyler Bailar was the first transgender athlete to compete on an NCAA Division 1 men's team. As a renowned speaker, author, and thought leader, Schuyler's work includes answering questions from all sorts of people relating to gender, current events, mental health, civil-rights issues, and so much more. But there are always questions left unanswered -- until now. 

On "Dear Schuyler", the award-winning activist answers questions he receives from followers, allies, and anyone who wants to learn more about how our ideas of gender shape our lives. To help inform those answers, Schuyler speaks to guests whose wisdom and experiences are directly impacted by those questions -- people like like NCAA champion swimmer Lia Thomas, ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio, Olympian Megan Rapino and others. These are the culture movers, the experts, and the real people who tell their stories, teach their lessons, and help us all recognize how they're shaping today's society and culture.
