Queer Horizons | Trans Inclusion in Sport: On Gender Policing, Resistance, and Joy
March 12, 2025 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm MDT
There is a long and problematic history of gender policing in sports through official policy and practice. This is true in elite sports as well as in recreational sports and all levels in between. In this talk, we will discuss this history as well as current provincial policy (Bill 29), with a particular focus on the impacts on trans and gender-diverse folks, but also cisgender girls and women. Of course, where discriminatory restrictions exist, so do examples of resiliency, resistance, and joy; accordingly, we will share insights from research and our own experiences. Everyone belongs in sport.
Presented by Eva Bošnjak and Dr William Bridel
ASL interpretation will be provided.
