DSD (differences in sex development) athletes and transgender athletes are actually very different. Dr Shanie Landen explains why the two groups should not be discussed as one, how complicated the individual cases can be, and how well policies in sport reflect (or do not reflect) the biology.
Shanie has a PhD from Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia, where she investigated sex-specific epigenetic adaptations to endurance exercise training. She has authored 22 publications in the field of gene regulation. Shanie is interested in gene regulation mechanisms and the mechanisms by which exercise improves health and disease. She is researching how sex-biasing forces influence gene regulation and function.
