Trans and gender diverse inclusion in sport + movement settings: Advanced

This session follows on from the ‘Introduction to trans and gender diverse inclusion in sport’ session, with a more in depth and critical exploration into both gender and sex, elite sport policy and testosterone, and nuanced discussions around fairness debates surrounding the inclusion of athletes who do not conform to traditional western notions of masculinity and femineity, or those who sit outside the gender binary. The sessions draws upon  the latest research and policies into trans and gender diverse athletes, whilst also hearing from a range of trans athletes about their experiences of participating in sport, and the impact of exclusionary and damaging sport policies.
