Reviews

The sudden controversies over trans women's place in elite sports call for investigation. This book traces how moral panics have been fabricated to justify prejudice and exclusion. It carefully unpacks the policies of different sports bodies, and shows how a spurious rhetoric of 'science' is invoked to maintain social barriers. Equally important, the authors offer a positive approach based on principles of justice. In brief: an important resource. -- Raewyn Connell, author of Gender: In World Perspective
