Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"A richly reported and provocative look at the history of women's
sports
and the controversy surrounding trans athletes by a leading LGBTQ+
sports
journalist. For decades women have been playing competitive
sports
thanks in large part to the protective cover of Title IX. Since passage of that law, the number of women participating in
sports
and the level of competition in high school, college, and professionally, has risen dramatically. In
Fair
Play
, award-winning journalist Katie Barnes traces the evolution of women's
sports
as a pastime and a political arena, where equality and fairness have been fought over for generations. As attitudes toward
gender
have shifted to embrace more fluidity in recent decades, sex continues to be viewed as a static binary that is easily determined: male or female. It is on that very idea of static sex that we have built an entire sporting apparatus. Now that foundation is crumbling as a result of intense culture wars. Whether we are talking about bathrooms,
gender
affirming care for trans youth, or
sports
, the debate about who gets to decide
gender
is being litigated every day in every community. Many transgender and intersex athletes, from a South African runner, to a New Zealand power lifter, to a wrestler in Texas, to Connecticut track stars, have captured the attention of law and policy makers who want to decide
how
and when they compete. Women's
sports
, since their inception, have been seen as a separate class of competition that requires protection and rules for entry. But what are those rules and who gets to make them?
Fair
Play
looks at all sides of the issue and presents a reasoned and much-needed solution that seeks to preserve opportunities for all going forward."--Publisher.
