Women’s Sport and Transgender Inclusion: The Counter Biological Argument.
In this presentation, ProfessorHands will expose how the disregard of fundamental, sex-based biology of athletes in favour of social gender identity creates unfair and unsafe competitions for females, which infringes their rights, and undermines the integrity of women’s sport.
Biological, sport science and endocrinological evidence will be provided to detail the sex-aligned biological differences in physique, physiological capabilities, and sporting performance, and the unique challenges associated with female biology.
To conclude Professor Hands will present some possible solutions and examples from sports’ participation policies that attempt to balance the competing priorities of fairness and safety with inclusion. It is critical that male and female biological differences are celebrated!
