Transgender athletes: what the science says

Catherine Deves is the Liberal Party candidate for the Sydney seat of Warringah, handpicked by Scott Morrison, and she's been in the spotlight for offensive comments she’s made - and since deleted - about the trans community.

Ms Deves says she’s protecting women’s sport but her critics say the sports debate is a veil for bigotry. We're joined by Dr Ada Cheung, an endocrinologist and founder of the Trans Health Research Group at The University of Melbourne.

On today's Briefing, we go from the politics to a bit more of the science with an expert in hormone therapy and its impact on the body.
