While efforts to include gay and lesbian athletes in competitive sport have received significant attention, it is only recently that we have begun examining the experiences of transgender athletes in competitive sport. This book represents the first comprehensive study of the challenges that transgender athletes face in competitive sport; and the challenges they pose for this sex-segregated institution. Beginning with a discussion of the historical role that sport has played in preserving sex as a binary, the book examines how gender has been policed by policymakers within competitive athletics. It also considers how transgender athletes are treated by a system predicated on separating males from females, consequently forcing transgender athletes to negotiate the system in coercive ways. The book not only exposes our culture’s binary thinking in terms of both sex and gender, but also offers a series of thought-provoking and sometimes contradictory recommendations for how to make sport more hospitable, inclusive and equitable. Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport is important reading for all students and scholars of the sociology of sport with an interest in the relationship between sport and gender, politics, identity and ethics.

Transgender athletes' involvement in competitive sports is a contentious issue, especially when athletes who have gone through male puberty are very effective in women's sports, or pose a considerable injury risk to female-by-birth competitors. Resistance to trans women competing in women's sports usually focuses on physiological characteristics like height and weight, or performance metrics like speed and strength-and whether long-term testosterone suppression can sufficiently reduce any natural advantages of male body characteristics within a given women's sport. Sport has traditionally been considered as a male realm. The growth of women's sports initially softened the male vision of sport, which was then challenged by the eventual acceptance of LGBT athletes. The advent of trans athletes, many of whom dispute the culturally accepted binary gender norms of male and female, marked a third departure from convention. Laurel Hubbard of New Zealand has been selected to compete in the Olympics for the first time, in a contentious decision. After qualification rules were recently amended, she was selected for the women's weightlifting squad for Tokyo 2020. Before coming out as transgender in 2013, she competed in men's events. Critics claim Hubbard has an unfair edge, while others contend that the Games should be more inclusive. We focus on the life (biography) of the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics, as well as the history of transgender athletes in sports, in this book.

This edited volume draws upon work from a wide range of established and emerging international scholars to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of sport’s complex relationship with masculinity. With a particular focus on Latin America, it examines the changing relationship between a range of contemporary sport and sexuality and gender expression, as related to lesbian, gay and/or trans athletes. Experts from Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia provide historical, sociological and anthropological perspectives on heteronormativity, masculinity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and the gender binary as they relate to sports clubs, Mexican martial arts, football, softball, sports media, games, and physical education. It will be invaluable to scholars and students in the fields of Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Sports Studies, and Men’s Studies.

Athlete welfare should be of central importance in all sport. This comprehensive volume features cutting-edge research from around the world on issues that can compromise the welfare of athletes at all levels of sport and on the approaches taken by sports organisations to prevent and manage these. In recent years, sports organisations have increased their efforts to ensure athlete health, safety, and well-being, often prompted by high-profile disclosures of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse; bullying; discrimination; disordered eating; addiction; and mental health issues. In this book, contributors lift the lid on these and other issues that jeopardise the physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual welfare of athletes of all ages to raise awareness of the broad range of challenges athletes face. Chapters also highlight approaches to athlete welfare and initiatives taken by national and international sport organisations to provide a safer, more ethical sports environment. As the first book to focus exclusively on athlete welfare, this is an essential read for students and researchers in sports studies, coaching, psychology, performance, development and management, and physical education. It is also a useful reference point for anyone working in welfare, safeguarding, child protection, and equity and inclusion in and beyond sport.
