The last decade has seen significant changes in global attitudes,
policies and practices that impact the lives of trans people, but
the world of sport has been slow to follow these initiatives.
Contributors to this book document the formidable social-cultural
and legal challenges facing trans athletes, particularly girls and
women, at the global, national, and local levels, in contexts
ranging from school sport to international competition. They
demonstrate how proponents of trans exclusion rely on flawed or
inconclusive science, selectively employed to support their
purported goal of 'protecting women's sport'. Politicians in the
US, UK, and elsewhere who have shown little interest in women or in
sport exploit the issue to advance broader conservative agendas,
while hostile mainstream and social media coverage exacerbates the
problem. Bringing insights from sociology, philosophy, science and
law, contributors present cogent analyses of these developments and
explore the way forward, providing thoughtful and original
recommendations for changes to policies and practices that are
inclusive, innovative and democratic.
