Sex and Sports
This book addresses one of the most controversial and polarising topics of recent years: transgender girls' inclusion in girls' sports. The book explores legal precedent and medical science and explains why neither can answer the question of how eligibility rules should be drawn for girls' sports. The decision is, at core, a political one necessarily reflecting social values and priorities.
Sex and Sports examines positions from the right and left that have dominated the public debate, revealing their ideological commitments and logical weak points. With the goal of helping readers clarify their own positions, rather than advocacy, the book provides a framework for thinking about this issue that focuses on the discrete benefits organised sports provide to participants and society more broadly and considers how such benefits can be most fairly and justly allocated to girls and boys â both transgender and cisgender.
