Gender defenders of the sport binary
Mediating discourses of difference against intersex and transgender female athletes
Samenvatting
This book examines 100 years of media coverage, decades of medical debate, and overlapping sport regulatory policies, it considers how the force of cisgender ideology creates a singular narrative centered on fairness that dominates transgender and intersex women and erases them from elite sport. This book traces the influence of powerful contexts such as language and masculinity in constructing boundaries around who can and cannot fit in women’s sport.
