OU GCRN Seminar: Cathy Devine 'Sex, gender identity and sport'
How do gender identity eligibility criteria affect the human rights of female athletes both in high performance sport and sport participation settings?
Cathy discusses aspects of a recent published work including two of her papers: Female Sports Participation, Gender Identity and the British 2010 Equality Act, and Female Olympians’ voices: Female sports categories and International Olympic Committee Transgender guidelines. She also touches on contemporary examples including the transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
