Project Humanities Hosts Veronica Ivy
When it comes to the topic of transgender athletes competing in sports, people have a lot to say. But it's more than just talk. This debate is expressed through popular culture, policies and politics.
Essentially, it boils down to this question: Do “fairness” and “inclusivity” hold the same weight in sports?
According to the International Olympic Committee, “participation in sport is a human right.” Translation: yes. But not everyone agrees.
On Thursday, Arizona State University's Project Humanities hosted a virtual platform for a professional transgender athlete and a scholar to offer their lived experience and research perspectives connected to this hot-button topic.
