This timely and urgent text presents cutting-edge research
exploring the complexities of barriers to inclusive access to sport
and physical activity, and discusses how sport, and society, can
move forward beyond the gender binary, in both theory and practice.
Sport is one of the most influential, powerful, and visible
institutions upholding the gender binary, even as the number of
people identifying as transgender and non-binary increases rapidly
worldwide. With this rising visibility, societal pressure has been
increasing for the equal acceptance of gender diverse people, but
while gains have been made in many areas, the participation of
intersex, trans and non-binary people in sport remains harshly
contested. Bringing together a world-leading team of established
and emerging scholars from the UK, USA, and Australia, this
collection presents an interdisciplinary analysis of current issues
related to the participation of gender diverse individuals in sport
and physical activity. Engaging with psychological ideas around
identity, prejudice and discrimination, and sports psychology and
performance, authors examine evidence that the rules, regulations,
and practices that surround physical activity participation - from
elite sport to sport in schools, universities, and society at large
- are grounded in heteronormative, cisgendered, and sexist
practices which unfairly discriminate against gender diverse
people. Also including analysis of personal accounts from
non-binary and transgender athletes from a range of sports, this is
fascinating and essential reading for education, health, and sports
professionals who work with and support gender diverse children and
adults, as well as academics and students in the fields of
psychology, sport psychology, sociology, law, and sports science,
and those participating in, and navigating, sport and physical
activity spaces.
