Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport - Bog

Bag om Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport

This is the first comprehensive study of the challenges that transgender athletes face in the hyper-macho, sex segregated institution of sport. The book discusses the historical role that sports have played in preserving sex as a binary and examines how gender has been policed within competitive athletics. It considers how transgender athletes are treated by a system predicated on separating males from females, forcing transgender athletes to negotiate the system in coercive ways, and reviews key issues and contemporary cases. Encouraging reflection on our culture¿s binary thinking on sex and gender, it offers recommendations on how to make sport a more inclusive place for all participants.
