The Flaws in Research and Misconceptions
This chapter discusses the flaws in research used to exclude transgender individuals from sports, emphasizing the importance of lean body mass and hemoglobin levels rather than sheer muscle mass. It challenges the assumption that biological differences always confer advantages in sports and highlights the barriers faced by women in sports as the biggest disadvantage. The chapter also explores the idea that biological sex is not binary and questions the labeling of certain variations as bad or as diseases.
