Two Ohio lawmakers have proposed a bill banning transgender girls from participating in school sports, saying it's unfair for girls to compete against someone born a male. LGBTQ advocates say it's another form of discrimination against transgender youth. We'll discuss on The Sound of Ideas. Plus, the YWCA of Greater Cleveland's Margaret Mitchell tells us about the 21-day racial equity and social justice challenge. Plus, we'll meet a young entrepreneur who makes her own lip gloss line.
