Show Notes
Anna Baeth and Madeleine Pape join us to discuss the highly politicized and complicated issue of trans-athletes in contemporary sports. At the heart of this discussion is debates about fairness, the meaning sex and gender, and positive outcomes of sports participation. This episode is directly relevant to chapter 7 on gender and sexuality as well as chapter 13 on sports and politics. This episode is incredibly important for sports scholars and practitioners alike as we make sense of complicated and contradictory claims about bodies and truth. What are your thoughts?
