How One Athlete Is Pushing The Sports World Beyond 'Men' And 'Women'

"For people who live outside of the gender binary -- or who identify as transgender -- the sports world can function as a huge force of regulation.
How do athletes who don't identify as "male" or "female" participate in an industry that inherently relies on these two categories?
