Patrons Only: On Joe Biden's Inauguration And His Decision To Deport Every Cisgender American
The gang (all two of them) discuss Joe Biden's inauguration, Donald Trump's future, and what to make of a controversial executive order that seems to be telegraphing the Biden administration's (unsurprising) positions on sex and gender and gender identity. (Note: We're going to try to find a legal expert to come on and talk about all this stuff at some point, so stay tuned. There's a chance it won't work out because people are skittish on this subject but we'll try our best.)

The Obama administration's Dear Colleague Letter on Transgender Students, rescinded by the Trump administration, which gives affected entities room to continue offering sex-segregated sports: "Title IX does not prohibit age-appropriate, tailored requirements based on sound, current, and research-based medical knowledge about the impact of the students’ participation on the competitive fairness or physical safety of the sport" - https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201605-title-ix-transgender.pdf#page=3
