Policing trans bodies in sports affects women
Genital exams, genotyping, and hormone evaluations are used as methods of verifying if someone is transgender or not to exclude them from participating in sports.
These methods are enforced by:
- Checking every single athlete who participates (logistically & financially impossible, problem of consent)
- Accusation based testing (anyone accused of being transgender is subject to testing). Not only is this incredibly invasive, but such practices are degrading to women.
