Six years ago, @mzamoraphoto and I published the #TransinIowa series. Back then, we largely celebrated a state that truly prized liberties. Today, Iowa passed a bill (awaiting Gov signature) that prohibits transgender athletes from playing sports with their gender. @mzamoraphoto One story featured Iowa's first openly transgender athlete, a transman. He ran on men's cross-country in Cedar Falls; the coach actively sought him out to run on the team.
