Fair Play: How Sports Shape the Gender Debates

Fair Play - How sports shape the gender debates by Katie Barnes

I was excited to get this book. I was hoping for understanding as to why it is ok for transwomen to compete against women in sports. I was hoping to understand. The author generalized a lot and I still don't know where I stand on this issue. I was at a soccer game and a transwoman was on the team... I thought, yeah... cool! I watched her run full tilt to the goal and elbowed the opposing defense in the nose. The lady was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I'm sure this doesn't happen much but I wondered, what if that was my daughter in an ambulance? How would I feel? I think I would definitely like to know more about this and this book didn't answer anything for me but it was well written enough I would likely recommend it.
