Five Ring Circus: S1E3

This week on Five Ring Circus, Sara Gross and Kelly O’Mara ask: “Do we really need gender testing in women’s sport?”  From the days of nude parades to chromosome and testosterone testing, women who are too fast or too strong or do not look a certain way have come under suspicion that they are somehow not fully “female.”  Listen as Sara and Kelly discuss all the issues relating to gender including the history of “gender verification,” the fact that gender is not binary, and fairness for intersex and transgender athletes. For more Olympic coverage, podcasts, videos, articles, blogs, news visit our website at www.wispsports.com and follow us on social media @WiSP Sports.
