Gender diversity in sports has become a focal point in the culture war and point of disagreement for sports governing bodies. We recorded this episode before the recent executive orders affecting transgender people. But those recent developments have put the political in a new light. Hopefully what you hear feels like a totally different kind of conversation.What is the nature of biological male advantage? What constitutes fairness? How do we reconcile gender identity and underlying biology?Host Alex Grodd moderates a disagreement between sports legal expert Doriane Coleman and sports physicist Joanna Harper. They explore the nuances of sex/gender category definitions, the implications of hormone therapy for gender diverse athletes, and the broader societal impacts of inclusion in female sports categories. Through deep dives into the science, historical context, and ethical considerations, this is a different kind of conversation about fairness, biology, and gender identity in competitive sports.Got questions or comments about this episode?

Joanna Harper, scientist and trans athlete speaks to Kate Varley as the World Athletics Council announces they are to ban transwomen from participating in female category events; Prof Donal O'Shea, Endocrinologist, also gives his reaction to the decision.
World Athletics have decided that transgender women will not be allowed to compete in female sports categories. Trans women will be banned if they've gone through male puberty. Previously transgender females could compete if they had gone through a period of testosterone suppression. Andrea Gilligan was joined by Saoirse Macken, co-founder of Trans Plus Pride, weightlifter Rehana Maniar, Joanna Harper is a Visiting Fellow for Transgender Athletic perfomance at Loughborough University and transgender athlete and others to discuss..
Charlie Eisenhood and Josh Mansfield discuss the new gender-based division guidelines from the PDGA and the DGPT. They welcome in transgender athlete researcher Joanna Harper to discuss the new policy and go deep on the medical committee findings, survey results, and what might be next. Later in the show, they talk about Anthony Barela's announcement that he is leaving Innova after nine years of sponsorship.Chapters0:00 PDGA Updates FPO Regulations8:20 Joanna Harper Interview24:25 PDGA Policy Fairness36:30 Medical Subcommittee Report47:25 PDGA Survey Results57:15 Reactions & Future1:08:10 Anthony Barela News
Welcome back to Season 4 of At Your Cervix the Podcast! We are delighted to bring to you this fascinating discussion with Loughborough University Researcher Joanna Harper about Transgender Athlete Performance. Joanna, originally from a small town north of Toronto is a medical researcher at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom where her research focuses on this very topic. Author of the book, Sporting Gender: The History, Science and Stories of Transgender and Intersex Athletes, she has also authored articles on gender diverse athletes in peer-reviewed scientific publications. Since 2015, Joanna has served as an advisor on transgender and intersex athletes to multiple sporting federations including the International Olympic Committee. In this episode we discuss what it means to be a transgender athlete, what confusion and questions arise within high performance competition and what the science actually tells us in relation to whether transgender women hold a "sporting advantage".

August 27, 1976. Renee Richards expects to play tennis at this year's U.S. Open. Coming off several impressive performances in top amateur tournaments, she wants to try her hand against the best competition in the world. But today, shortly before the tournament is set to begin, the USTA bars her from playing on the basis of her gender identity. A media firestorm and a precedent-setting lawsuit soon followed, changing the landscape for trans athletes for generations to come. Why did the U.S. Open initially decide to keep Renee Richards from competing, only to reverse its decision 11 months later? And how does her landmark court case continue to impact trans athletes and other marginalized groups to this day?Special thanks to our guests; Joanna Harper, Ph.D researcher in transgender athletic performance at Loughborough University, author Sporting Gender: The History, Science, and Stories of Transgender and Intersex Athletes; Karleigh Webb, writer and contributor for SB Nation's Outsports.com and host of the Trans Sporter Room Podcast; and Schuyler Bailar, a gender literacy and transgender advocate and educator, and creator of LaneChanger, an online gender literacy learning series.

World Athletics and FIFA are the latest governing bodies considering a ban on transgender women from competing in female events. World swimming's governing body FINA has barred transgender athletes from participating in women's events if they've undergone male puberty. There will be no transgender players in women's international rugby league matches - including this year's World Cup - thanks to a similar ban by the International Rugby League. Closer to home, all eyes are on the National Rugby League to see if they follow suit. Transgender academic and former athlete Joanna Harper spoke to Susie Ferguson.

In a special, extended edition of The Sports Desk, Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan and Jane Dougall explore and explain the issues surrounding transgender women competing in women's sport. With the governing bodies of cycling and swimming reviewing their transgender policies and widespread calls for more leadership from the International Olympic Committee, what happens next as sport wrestles with a complex balance of inclusion, sporting fairness and safety? We'll hear from two elite GB runners, who want clear regulations to protect women's sport and a separate “open category” to include men and trans athletes. Transgender racing driver Charlie Martin tells the story of her transition and calls the exclusion of trans women in sport “inhuman” and “criminal”. Sports scientist Ross Tucker says the International Olympic Committee have prioritised inclusion “at the expense of the integrity of women's sport”, while Loughborough University sports scientist Joanna Harper says “definitive answers” on any athletic advantages for trans women are 20 years away. Lastly, Magali Martowicz, Head of Human Rights at the IOC, defends their guidance that there should be “no assumption” that trans women have an advantage and that sports bodies should decide their own policies on a “case by case” basis.

U.S. politicians are trying to keep trans kids from getting the medical care they need to transition — and states are banning them from playing on the sports teams that match their gender. So we're looking at the science here, and asking: are the medical treatments for trans kids dangerous? And do trans folks have an advantage when it comes to sports? We talk to Florence Ashley, Dr. Jack Turban, and Joanna Harper to find out. Note: in this episode we discuss suicide and self-harm.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6818IN TEXAS SONO RIUSCITI A FAR CHIUDERE UNA CLINICA CHE CAMBIAVA IL SESSO AI MINORENNIGrande soddisfazione in Texas dei genitori e delle associazioni pro famiglia che insieme a Mass Resistance sono riusciti a far chiudere una clinica specializzata nel cambiamento di sesso per i minori.Non solo chiude la principale clinica per minori transgender di Dallas, GENECIS (GENder Education and Care, Interdisciplinary Support) presso il Children's Hospital, ma l'ospedale stesso smetterà di dare ormoni ai minorie ha persino ha rimosso la pagina web della clinica. Ecco come si è arrivati a questo risultato.A marzo 2021 gli attivisti della sezione del Texas di MassResistance hanno organizzato proteste davanti alla clinica. A volte, le auto della polizia hanno disperso i manifestanti, ma la gente ha perseverato e e alla fine la polizia ha desistito. Intanto, MR ha organizzato gruppi di pressione sul Parlamento statale per l'introduzione ti proposte di legge a favore della famiglia, compreso il divieto di procedure di "transizione di genere" sui bambini.Alla fine un buon progetto di legge ha cominciato l'iter parlamentare, ma incredibilmente ha trovato l'opposizione non solo dei "liberal" del partito Democratico, ma anche del Governatore e di parte dei conservatori (Repubblicani).Gli attivisti hanno perseverato e partecipato alle audizioni confutando punto per punto le teorie gender degli oppositori del disegno di legge.Nonostante tutto, il governatore repubblicano, Abbott, e alcuni parlamentari repubblicani permettono all'opposizione di spuntarla e il disegno di legge viene affossato.Colpo di scena: Texas MassResistance scopre e rivela enormi donazioni dalla lobby transgender al Governatore e al Partito Repubblicano locale!Il comitato di azione politica di GENECIS aveva donato decine di migliaia di dollari ai principali esponenti del partito. E dal 2015, un altro comitato di azione politica transgender del Texas aveva donato $ 800.000 al governatore Abbott, $ 825.000 al vice-governatore Patrick, $ 105.000 al repubblicano Phelan e $ 200.000 al procuratore generale del Texas Ken Paxton.Scoppia l'indignazione generale e i genitori in tutto lo stato levano le loro proteste: ad agosto il governatore Abbott ha inviato una richiesta al Dipartimento per la famiglia e i servizi di protezione del Texas chiedendo un parere ufficiale: "la mutilazione genitale di un bambino ai fini della transizione di genere attraverso un intervento chirurgico di riassegnazione costituisce abuso sui minori secondo la legge dello Stato?"La risposta è affermativa.La clinica GENECIS ha tentato di difendersi dicendo che non praticava la chirurgia, ma solo le cure ormonali. Ma è ovvio che gli ormoni sono la premessa al bisturi. L'indignazione si diffonde. Svariate associazioni di genitori hanno contattato i membri del consiglio e i donatori del Dallas Children's Hospital chiedendo la chiusura della clinica.E finalmente la chiusura è stata decretata.Questo è ciò che si può ottenere con perseveranza e tenacia. Anche i politici arroganti di alto rango possono essere costretti a fare le cose giuste.Nota di BastaBugie: ecco altre notizie sul "gaio" mondo gay... sempre meno gaio.COMITATO OLIMPICO, NIENTE PIÙ CONTROLLI PER I TRANSIl Comitato Olimpico Internazionale ha pubblicato alcune linee guida sulla partecipazione degli atleti transessuali alle gare. Queste line guida diventeranno operative dopo le Olimpiadi invernali del 2022. Secondo il CIO non sarà più necessario testare i livelli di testosterone, nè sottoporsi a visite mediche. Dunque, per ipotesi, anche un uomo, che non si è sottoposto ad interventi chirurgici, nè a trattamenti ormonali, potrebbe tranquillamente partecipare alle Olimpiadi gareggiando con le donne.Per fortuna che queste linee guida non sono vincolanti per le single federazioni sportive. Joanna Harper, atleta transessuale, spiega che «le donne transgender sono in media più alte, grosse e forti delle donne cisgender, e in molti sport queste caratteristiche rappresentano dei vantaggi».(Gender Watch News, 20 novembre 2021)PARCHEGGI TEDESCHI RISERVATI AGLI LGBT E AI MIGRANTIHanauer Parkhaus GmbH (HPG), un parcheggio situato ad Hanau, in Germania, ha costruito tre posti auto riservati ai conducenti LGBTQ e migranti.Thomas Morlock, presidente del consiglio di sorveglianza di HPG e consigliere comunale, ha dichiarato all'inaugurazione dei parcheggi che l'obiettivo era quello di aiutare le persone che sentono "un bisogno speciale di protezione".Non è immediatamente chiaro come le autorità intendano monitorare se le persone che parcheggiano negli spazi facciano effettivamente parte della comunità LGBTQ o siano migranti, anche se HPG ha affermato che una telecamera controllerà il parcheggio.Morlock ha continuato dicendo che gli spazi sono stati costruiti per presentare a tutti un "simbolo vistosamente colorato" per "diversità e tolleranza", e non sono necessariamente pensati per essere usati da un "gruppo separato di persone".(Provita & Famiglia, 5 ottobre 2021)LA LEGO ELIMINERÀ DAI SUOI GIOCATTOLI GLI STEREOTIPI DI GENERELa Lego ha annunciato che eliminerà dai suoi giocattoli gli "stereotipi di genere" dopo che un sondaggio commissionato dalla Lego stessa ha rilevato un presunto "problema" per i ragazzi.La ricerca condotta dal "Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media" avrebbe infatti scoperto che mentre le bambine sono sicure di sé e pronte a giocare anche con le confezioni di mattoncini pensate per i maschi, il 71% dei bambini intervistati ha confessato di temere di essere presi in giro qualora avessero utilizzato scatole che presentano la dicitura "giocattoli per ragazze".Lo studio riportato dal Guardian, sottolinea che si tratta di una paura condivisa se non più accentuata nei genitori. Da qui la decisione della Lego di togliere le etichette di genere dalle scatole e sul sito e di dividere i giochi per "passione".Già qualche mese fa la Lego aveva mostrato di essere particolarmente sensibile alle tematiche gender-friendly e questa ennesima assurda trovata conferma il suo definitivo asservimento alla dittatura del politically correct.(Provita & Famiglia, 11 ottobre 2021)
Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard made history at the Tokyo Olympics last night. Her Olympic campaign was over quickly when she failed her three attempts in the snatch at the Tokyo Games. Hubbard made a heart gesture to the audience with her hands before leaving the competition arena. Transgender academic and former athlete Joanna Harper spoke to Susie Ferguson.
It's been 125 years since the modern Olympics were founded in Athens, and this year will see a monumental first for the world's biggest sporting competition: the inclusion of Laurel Hubbard, a transgender female athlete, in the women's weightlifting competition. In 2015, the IOC issued guidelines that allow transgendered athletes to compete as a woman if their testosterone levels are suppressed to predetermined level prior to competing. Scientific advisers to the IOC argue that hormone therapy is sufficient in creating a level playing field between transgendered athletes and biological females. Trans women, they maintain, who have undergone estrogen therapy, do not possess a material athletic advantage over cisgender women. Critics of the current IOC policy argue that the suppression of testosterone does not mitigate many of the physical advantages gained by those who have gone through puberty as males - such as developing a bigger heart, more lung capacity, longer skeletal structures, etc. Separate sports categories for women and men were created to give female athletes the chance to compete against each other and win on approximately equal terms. Including transgender women in sports competitions like the Olympics is profoundly unfair to cisgender females and denigrates their hard work and sacrifice as elite athletes. Arguing for the motion is Joanna Harper, trans athlete, medical physicist, and adviser to the IOC on matters of gender and sport. Arguing against the motion is Gregory Brown, Professor of Exercise Science at University of Nebraska at Kearney. QUOTES: JOANNA HARPER “We need to be very careful when we make arguments that trans women athletes are displacing other women, because in a sociological sense they are indeed female." GREGORY BROWN “If you're going to compete, you should have a chance to win. Including a trans woman who runs 12% faster than a cisgender woman makes it very difficult for it to be a meaningful competition.” Sources: BBC, RNZ, Good Morning Britain, Fox News, France24 The host of the Munk Debates is Rudyard Griffiths - @rudyardg.

The work of female rangers protecting wildlife from poachers. Collet Ngobeni of The Black Mambas and Holly Budge of How Many Elephants discuss. The Chief Inspector of Ofsted, Amanda Spielman on the problem of sexual harassment and abuse in schools, and what needs to be done to bring about change. Jackie Collins was one of the most successful female authors of all time but often just dismissed as the Queen of Sleaze. We hear from Jackie's eldest daughter, Tracy Lerman and from Laura Fairrie, director of the new film Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins story. Laurel Hubbard will be the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics. She's part of the New Zealand women's weightlifting team. She qualifies on the basis that her testosterone levels have been kept below a certain level for at least a year. But how does a reduction in testosterone affect other aspects of the body - such as muscle mass and strength? We hear from Joanna Harper, a PhD researcher at Loughborough University. A new £50 note featuring the Bletchley Park codebreaker Alan Turing has just been launched. Debbie Marriott is the first ever female banknote designer at the Bank of England, and explains the work that goes into making the notes. Elizabeth Packard was an ordinary 19th century American housewife and mother of six, whose husband had her declared 'slightly insane' and put in an asylum after daring to voice her opinions. Elizabeth embarked on a ceaseless quest for justice, both inside and outside the asylum. Kate Moore has written 'The Woman They Could Not Silence' about this fascinating but little known woman. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor
The New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard looks set to make history after being confirmed as the first transgender athlete to compete at an Olympic Games. Hubbard previously competed in men's events before transitioning in 2013. She is eligible due to a change in International Olympic Committee guidelines on testosterone levels in 2015, and after qualifying requirements were modified by the International Weightlifting Federation. For many campaigners this is a landmark moment for trans people, whose participation at grassroots level sport is shamefully low. Moreover, while there are many different male and female body types, they see elite sport as reflecting society's obsession with gender stereotypes and worry about the implications for anyone who does not meet ‘conventional standards' of femininity. Opponents think that allowing transgirls, who were assigned male at birth, to compete with cis girls is unfair. They argue that, in the vast majority of cases, males are stronger, faster and more powerful than females – if that were not the case we would not have had to segregate sport in the first place. The New Zealand Olympic Committee chief executive, Kereyn Smith, said this complex issue required, “a balance between human rights and fairness on the field of play”. This raises a deeper philosophical question: what is the relationship between rights and rules? And which of these is best placed to achieve fairness – not just in sporting competition but between competing demands? When should rules and laws be challenged and when does a person's sense of their natural rights go too far? With Dr Dafydd Mills Daniel, Joanna Harper, Debbie Hayton and Adam Wagner. Producer: Dan Tierney.
Nightclubs are shut, dancing at weddings is not allowed and gigs and festivals are still uncertain. If you want to dance you have to do it at home. Woman's Hour shares your DIY dancing stories and gets tips from Guilty Pleasures DJ, Sean Rowley and Strictly dancer, Amy Dowden. Laurel Hubbard is going to be the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics which starts next month. It's controversial, and she'll make history. She'll be part of the New Zealand women's weightlifting team at Tokyo. Laurel came out as transgender in 2013 - and qualifies for the Olympics on the basis that her testosterone levels have been kept below a certain level for at least a year. But how does a reduction in testosterone affect other aspects of the body - such as haemoglobin levels, muscle mass and strength - that could influence competitive performance? And what research is needed to help inform the balance between inclusivity and meaningful competition in sport? Joanna Harper, a PhD researcher at Loughborough University talks about her latest study. Imagine having your home destroyed, losing your livelihood, and then being intimidated by those now on the land. That's what hundreds of women in Western Uganda say has happened to them; they were violently evicted from their homes to make way for a sugar plantation. In an investigation for Woman's Hour, they've told us they are now left with no option but to live in extremely poor conditions in a makeshift camp, where they face physical and sexual abuse from the plantation workers. To make things worse, many of their husbands have abandoned them while they find employment elsewhere. The UK provides overseas aid for these woman as they fight for compensation for their lost land. But, that UK funding is due to end soon, even though after five years a legal dispute over the land is still unresolved. Two novels - one published tomorrow and one just out in paperback explore the human impact of environmental disaster through the lives of girls and women.

Valentina Petrillo é a primeira atleta transgênero a vestir a camisa da seleção italiana. Ela corre em provas de 100 a 400 metros rasos na categoria feminina. A velocista vai competir no Campeonato Europeu de Atletismo Paraolímpico na Polônia entre 1° e 5 de junho. Seu objetivo é a classificação para as Paraolimpíadas de Tóquio 2021. Gina Marques, correspondente da RFI em Roma “Para mim é um sonho que se realiza hoje do melhor modo, na categoria feminina. Vestir a camisa da seleção é um grande sinal. É um sinal, da parte das instituições, que Valentina é aceita universalmente. Estou segura de alcançar um grande resultado. Neste sentido, a Itália demonstrou estar à altura da situação, atendeu os meus pedidos como pessoa transgênero, o meu direito de viver como mulher e entre as mulheres” disse a atleta à RFI. As mulheres tiveram que esperar até 1900 para poder competir nos Jogos Olímpicos, mas os trangênero aguardaram ainda mais tempo. Até 2003 não era possível falar sobre o assunto e os trans não existiam no circuito esportivo competitivo. O Comitê Olímpico Internacional começou naquele ano para abrir uma minúscula porta para essa problemática de inclusão, mas sob condições muito específicas. Os atletas tinham que se submeter à cirurgia para a mudança de sexo e fazer dois anos de terapia hormonal. Também era preciso apresentar um documento de identidade com a certificação legal de seu gênero masculino ou feminino. Finalmente em 2016 o COI fez mudanças importantes em suas regras com a colaboração de uma comissão médica presidida pela Dra. Joanna Harper, médica, corredora canadense e mulher transexual. A obrigatoriedade de intervenção cirúrgica foi abolida, mas a reposição hormonal segue necessária. Atletas nascidos biologicamente com sexo masculino e que se identifiquem como feminino (MtF) devem demonstrar um nível de testosterona abaixo de 10 nanomol por litro (nmol / L) pelo menos um ano antes das competições. Enquanto atletas que fazem a transição do feminino para masculino (FtM) podem competir sem restrições. De 2003 a 2016, nenhum atleta transgênero participou dos Jogos Olímpicos de inverno ou verão. “Eu comecei a terapia hormonal em 4 de janeiro de 2019. A partir dai meu corpo se transformou", conta Valentina. "Em três meses de terapia hormonal perdi quase 12 segundos nos 400 metros. O que é muito para um atleta. Perdi também 2,5 segundos nos 200 metros e quase um segundo nos cem metros. São dados inequívocos. Isso é demonstrado pelos estudos científicos. Eu me baseio nestes estudos e estou dentro destes parâmetros hormonais. Hoje meus parâmetros são de uma mulher biológica graças a terapia hormonal feminina. Mas me trouxe também inconveniências no esporte, porque não corro como antes.” Mas a questão ainda suscita dúvidas e controvérsias. Por um lado, argumenta-se que os tratamentos hormonais para controle de testosterona podem colocar em risco a saúde de atletas transgêneros. Por outro, existe a polêmica que essas mesmas substâncias não criam igualdade, e que os atletas que fizeram a transição do masculino para o feminino mantêm uma vantagem sobre atletas cisgêneros (indivíduo que se identifica com o sexo biológico com o qual nasceu). “Fazer uma terapia hormonal para transição nunca é um percurso simples. É doloroso porque você sabe o que deixa para trás, mas não sabe o que encontrará pela frente", resume. "Como esportista sofri ainda mais. Eu desejava a terapia hormonal porque precisava me sentir alinhada com a mente e o corpo. Hoje me olho no espelho e me sinto feliz. Embora seja mais lenta, sou feliz.” diz. Valentina também conta que ainda enfrenta problemas de aceitação como atleta competindo com mulheres. “Não sinto que estou roubando nada a ninguém. Estou no lugar certo concorrendo com as mulheres. Existem preconceitos entre as mulheres e muitas perplexidades inerentes a minha participação na categoria masculina", desabafa. "Em 2018, antes de começar meu percurso de transição, eu me coloquei na posição de uma mulher biológica: 'Valentina, se você fosse uma mulher biológica e tivesse que competir com uma atleta transgênero com seu físico, o que você pensaria?' Eu fiz várias perguntas a mim mesma, e obtive respostas. Me baseio nos regulamentos. E o regulamento do COI estabelece parâmetros hormonais. Eu me sinto mulher e é justo competir com mulheres", insiste. Ela reclama também da curiosidade das pessoas sobre seus órgãos genitais. “Muitos me perguntam se sou operada. Quando respondo que não, me dizem que não sou uma verdadeira mulher. É uma coisa terrível. Não é o que tenho entre as pernas que me faz mulher.” Deficiência visual Desde 14 anos de idade Valentina sofre de deficiência visual, que atualmente está na classe T13. No entanto, compete também com pessoas sem deficiências. Como velocista, venceu 11 títulos na categoria masculina e 6 títulos na feminina. “Sou paraolímpica e sofro a doença de Stargardt, mas isso não impede competir com pessoas por assim dizer 'normais', ou seja, chamadas 'normodotadas'. Participo das competições da Federação Italiana de Atletismo com pessoas sem deficiência. Em outubro passado venci o Campeonato Master em Arezzo. Sou campeã Master na categoria de 200 metros com não deficientes. Venci o título italiano Master 45", enumera. "Sou pela integração completa, pela igualdade e inclusão total das pessoas muito além dos rótulos. Acima de tudo somos pessoas”. Polêmica sobre transfobia no Brasil Valentina acompanha as notícias sobre o Brasil e lamenta os preconceitos que envolvem atletas transgêneros brasileiras. Entre elas a jogadora de vôlei Tifanny Abreu, da equipe do Bauru/Sesi, que recentemente foi criticada pelo ex-jogador de vôlei Giba. “Para mim, o Brasil representava e representa uma pátria das pessoas transgêneros. Nunca vou me esquecer que Lea T, filha de Toninho Cerezo, participou da cerimônia de abertura das Olimpíadas do Rio. Foi lindo. Eu pensava que no Brasil não houvesse preconceito. Quando vi Tifanny e todas as críticas contra ela, me senti no seu lugar. Sinto a mesma coisa que ela sente, as mesmas dificuldades, as mesmas acusações que ela enfrenta. É muito difícil. Quero expressar minha grande solidariedade. Ser uma pessoa trans no esporte é muito difícil porque o esporte é competição. O esporte é um ambiente sexista, no qual existem só duas categorias, masculina e feminina”, ressalta. No entanto, apesar dos percalços, Valentina encontou alguns aliados durante sua transição. “Meu treinador Luca Giacometti me apoiou em um momento muito difícil em 2018, quando decidi fazer a terapia hormonal, e em 2019, por causa da burocracia. Sendo a primeira atleta a fazer este percurso, havia muitos problemas burocráticos", se recorda. Valentina também contou com a ajuda da UISP (União Italiana Esportes Para Todos), do Comitê Italiano Paraolímpico e da FISPES (Federação Italiana de Esportes Paraolímpicos e Experimentais). Adeus a Fabrizio Valentina, 47 anos, até 2018 era Fabrizio. Ela mantém o nome masculino nos documentos. Antes da transição, foi casado e teve um filho. “Meu filhinho é a minha vida. É o que Fabrizio me deu de presente quando era homem. Meu filho é tudo para mim. Espero que ele seja orgulhoso do pai, mesmo sendo um pai transexual”. Indagada sobre as recordações de Fabrizio ela responde: “Quando olho Fabrizio sinto muita ternura. Era uma pessoa em dificuldade com a dupla vida. Para ter uma bolsinha rosa esperei mais de 40 anos. A minha angústia era abrir aquele armário e ver minhas roupas masculinas. Vocês não podem imaginar como foi quando joguei todas aquelas roupas fora. Foi belíssimo!”, celebra Valentina. Filme A história de Valentina despertou a atenção de um grupo de cineastas italianos. Eles decidiram fazer um filme documentário de 90 minutos sobre a atleta. O longa-metragem produzido pela Ethnos - Gruppo Trans – Daruma, dirigido por Elisa Mereghetti e Marco Mensa, foi intitulado “5 nanomoli - il sogno olimpico di una donna trans” ( 5 nanomol - o sonho olímpico de uma mulher trans).

We spoke to scientist, distance runner and trans woman Joanna Harper about her book Sporting Gender. In it she covers the history and science of DSD and transatheltes in an interesting read that gives deeper information on the discussions about women’s sport you likely have seen in recent news as well as an inside view of some of the IAAF rulings on DSD and Trans athletes. We also hear from 800m runner Kate Grace (as well as Alysia) on their perspectives in an event that has seen dominance by women with DSD and how they’re both honestly still figuring out how to talk about this complex topic and all it’s intersections in a way that’s fair and supportive for all involved.

For almost a century now the international sporting community has grappled with the question of how to determine who gets to compete in the female sports category. Fifty years ago the question was answered with humiliating physical exams, but in more recent decades most international sporting federations have embraced a science focused approach. The International Olympic Committee, for example, uses testosterone levels considerably above the female range, not gender, as the main determinant of who gets to compete in the women's elite sport. But last October, World Rugby made international headlines when it announced a very different approach. The governing body's new guidelines prohibit transgender athletes from playing elite women's rugby because of concerns about the safety of players. Advocates for trans athletes say that these guidelines are discriminatory not least because they underestimate the extent to which hormone therapy and surgery diminish the biological advantages of being born male. They also argue that it's dangerous for international sporting bodies to try and regulate the factors that go into superior performance - a complex matter that cannot be reduced to a gender binary. Advocates for women's sport say that for reasons of basic fairness and safety more governing bodies should develop guidelines that bar biological males from participating in female sport. They argue that trans women who are born male enjoy immense physical advantages that are not eliminated through testosterone therapy or surgery. Female athletes argue that the increasing participation of trans women in their division is pushing them off of the podium and undermining the whole reason behind creating a women's sports category in the first place. Arguing for the motion is Linda Blade, former track and field champion, professional track and field coach, and President of Alberta Athletics. Arguing against the motion is Joanna Harper, a trans athlete, adviser to the International Olympic Committee on gender and sport, and author of Sporting Gender: The History, Science, and Stories of Transgender and Intersex Athletes.

In this week's Openly podcast, can transgender and intersex women compete fairly in female sport in an interview with Joanna Harper, an expert and researcher on the topic. Scotland pardons gay and bisexual men prosecuted for consensual same-sex activity; and America's women-only communities are becoming more inclusive to survive
It's Feel Bad Friday - Alan's guilty show. He hosts a panel to talk cultural guilt with Farah Nasser, Naomi Parness, and Pay Chen. Before going all in on the guilt trip, Alan is joined by Jamie Mauracher to talk about the Cheer team that deserves a medal, George Smitherman on his book Unconventional Candour, and Joanna Harper on the Olympic rules for women athletes with high levels of testosterone. Don't feel guilty listening in, it's hard to turn away.
The British Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies this week reignited the debate about transgender participation in sport, by saying anyone who was born male but now identifies as female should not be allowed to take part in women's sport, because of the physical advantage it brings. Davies denies her remarks are "transphobic" - as did the 18 times Grand Slam tennis champion Martina Navratilova - who originally said participation by male to female transgender athletes in women's sport was a form of 'cheating'. She later apologised for using the word "cheat" - but insisted protections were required for those competitors born female. So where does this debate go next? Joanna Harper, a medical physicist who advises the International Olympic Committee on such issues and is herself a transsexual woman, and Dr Nicola Williams, who is a research scientist specialising in human biology and leads a campaign called Fairplay for Women, debate this controversial topic. It's very rare that Sportshour contains some x-rated content, but a cycling club made up of adult pornstars has lost its British Cycling affiliation - after the governing body said its name might damage the sport's image. PPCC, which stands for Porn Pedallers Cycling Club, has gained over 100 members since forming three years ago and raises money and awareness for sexual health charities. The club's founder tells us what impact changing the club's name would have on their charity work. We'll also hear from Denmark's badminton doubles pair, who are a couple both on and off the court. Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl explain why they kept their relationship private for so long and why they're taking their baby, Molly, on tour with them around the world. A 16-year-old runner from the United States says her dream is to win an Olympic gold medal and become a world record holder. Athing Mu ran the second fastest time in history for the 600 metres at the USA Indoor Athletics Championships at the end of February and is already targeting more success on the world's biggest stage. And we hear from the Syrian refugee who wants to swim at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo despite not being able to swim a year ago. Three years ago, 24-year-old Eid nearly drowned trying to reach Europe, when the boat he was travelling in sank in the Mediterranean. Now he's living with a British family and training at the London Aquatics Centre, as he tries to win a place on the Refugee Olympic Team.

A Transwoman Sets a New Record In Women's Sprint and many people are arguing if it is fair or not. Trangender scientist Joanna Harper for instance states that biological males do have an unfair advantage up until they complete hormone replacement therapy. Others argue that regardless of HRT males will still have an advantage and it is not fair.Elements of the far left seem bent on arguing against the science even as transgender people speak in agreement with others in the scientific community. Academics like Nicholas Matte actually argue biological dimorphism doesn't exist.There are important social and scientific arguments to be made for the issue and regardless of what regressive leftists want to believe it does need to be discussed.Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate)

Joanna Harper, a medical physicist and transgender woman, advises sporting bodies, including the Olympics, on policies for transgender athletes. She contends that as long as a man has been on testosterone blocking drugs for one year he should be permitted to compete against women as a transwoman, including fighting in the UFC. For high schools, as long as the boy “identifies” as a girl, she advises, he should be able to compete in girls sports.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg
Billions of years ago, Mars probably hosted many water features: streams, rivers, gullies, etc. But until recently, water detected on the Red Planet was either locked up in ice or flitting about as a gas in the atmosphere. Now, researchers analyzing radar data from the Mars Express mission have found evidence for an enormous salty lake under the southern polar ice cap of Mars. Daniel Clery joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss how the water was found and how it can still be liquid—despite temperatures and pressures typically inhospitable to water in its liquid form. Read the research. Sarah also talks with science journalist Katherine Kornei about her story on changing athletic performance after gender transition. The feature profiles researcher Joanna Harper on the work she has done to understand the impacts of hormone replacement therapy and testosterone levels in transgender women involved in running and other sports. It turns out within a year of beginning hormone replacement therapy, transgender women plateau at their new performance level and stay in a similar rank with respect to the top performers in the sport. Her work has influenced sports oversight bodies like the International Olympic Committee. In this month's book segment, Jen Golbeck interviews Andrew Lawler about his book The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Next month's book will be The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect by Judea Pearl and Dana Mackenzie.
