With the final files handed off, it feels real now: after 10 years in various capacities, I'm moving on from @drexelpubhealth! So much appreciation for mentors, colleagues, and friends there and excited to share what's next (after I finish packing...)

Almost 2 years in the making:

Cishet white men are the sexual predators in sport we must worry about. Not transgender female athletes.

My experiences - + w/overwhelming evidence in sport - prove this.

CW transphobia, misogyny, harassment, EOs, etc. Pls read with care 🙏

ICYMI: The roots of the transphobic exclusion of trans women from sport are similar to those that aimed to keep women from sport altogether, including hockey - body policing, misogyny, and the quest for patriarchal control https://t.co/KozIxKOtU0

I wrote about the Waterloo stabbing, Jordan Peterson, political transphobia, and why we sure as hell aren't going to stop teaching gender studies.

This highlights how college athletic programs can consider mixed-gender opportunities to foster not only trans/non-binary inclusion but also be more welcoming to cisgender men who may not express traditional masculinity. Rec athletics is an existing model for such inclusion. 5/5

🚨 New pub: "A group of guys is enough to really scare me in general": Sexual minorities' vetting of athletic spaces. Online now in Recreational Sports Journal, co-authored by S. Spohn, @Kaylee_wil and R. Sell. 1/5 https://t.co/L2qgGEcjmn

[Casper Voyles, PhD, MPH @CasperVoyles]

Sexual minority men shared a key characteristic they look for: the presence of "gender outsiders" - those transgressing trad gender norms or, in male-dominated settings, cisgender women. Mixed-gender sports are more welcoming to sexual minority men than sex-segregated ones. 4/5

Spent time this weekend at @AnadeLgbt pride sports events in CDMX. Hundreds of LGBTQ athletes & fans taking to Olympic stadiums, playing fields, parks & streets highlights desire for inclusive athletic spaces & the power in collective joy/accomplishment. Sport can be healing.

Just now, TX Gov Abbott signed a law banning trans athletes from college sports. Recently, AL signed similar legislation for K-12 athletes. Our hearts break for trans, nonbinary & intersex Alabamians & Texans who simply want to live safe & public lives. https://t.co/VNlkHrvoXP

[Kyle Knight @knightktm]

Russian politicians are trying to fully ban gender-affirming health services. And they've smuggled in an exception for medically unnecessary surgeries on intersex children. Sounds a lot like right wing politicians in the US.

[The Chris Mosier @TheChrisMosier]

World Athletics’ decision to ban all transgender women & place harsh restrictions on athletes with intersex variations does not protect the integrity of women’s sports & only furthers the policing of women’s bodies. A 🧵

“I support trans folks and want them to live great lives” can’t exist in the same ideological universe as “trans folks can’t participate in our sports”
