The Fallacy of a “Transgender Threat” to Sports

By: Louisa Varni

Summary: In this podcast, I discuss the presence of transgender athletes in sport. Specifically, I compare regulations about trans athletes over a time span of about 15 years. I delve into the potential problems with regulations and how attitudes around these regulations affect athletes. I look at how sport is a space that supports the gender binary and consider how the conversation about transgender athletes will continue.
