Why most teams should be co-ed (and why most elite sports shouldn’t be) What makes a bad interview question? (Asking for a friend lol) Plus: Getting banned for your bones, interviewing trans kids, and a reminder that sports are hard!  This Week in Gender: Joan Summers on Barbie (2023) Find Katie @katie_barnes3 and KEBarnes.com.
