Anti-trans culture within sports must be addressed, through demystifying myths & misunderstandings regarding the participation of trans women within competitions. Hormone levels, sex-testing, forced surgeries, & many other misconceptions still remain as taboo & questionable subjects within sport. Let's note that in order to fully include all gender identifications, the system as a whole should be questioned and readdressed. Let us strive for progress.

Genetic advantages in sport tend to be celebrated, but that isn't always the case when it comes to women's athletics. At the start of July, two female runners from Namibia, Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi, were told they couldn't compete in the 400m race in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics unless they reduced their naturally high testosterone hormone levels. Shivani Dave speaks to Katrina Karkazis, a professor of sexuality, women's, and gender studies, specialising in ‘sex testing' and sport regulations, about the rules that ban female athletes with naturally high testosterone.

Although most scientists nowadays would not argue that brains of males and females belong to two distinct types, the binary framework still dominates thinking about the relations between sex and the brain. I’ll describe challenges to the binary formulation of these relations and how this formulation has evolved in response to these challenges, with the latest version claiming that brains are typically male or female because brain structure can be used to predict the sex category (female/male) of the brain’s owner. I will also present several lines of evidence revealing that sex category explains only a small part of the variability in human brain structure, and a recent study challenging the masculinization hypothesis. I suggest to replace the binary framework with a new, non-binary, framework, according to which mosaic brains reside in a multi-dimensional space that cannot meaningfully be reduced to a male-female continuum or to a binary variable. This framework may also apply to sex-related variables and has implications for research. SEE ALSO:  Panel Discussion with Daphna Joel, Lise Eliot, moderated by Donna Maney and Katrina Karkazis. Intro Music: Small Acts of Devotion feat.

Seit Jahrzehnten liefert die Wissenschaft handliche und leicht verständliche Antworten auf die Frage: Warum sind Männer so, wie sie sind. Die gültige Lehrmeinung sagt: Es liegt am Sexualhormon Testosteron. Aber wo kommt diese Gewissheit eigentlich her - und wichtiger: stimmt das eigentlich? Rebecca Jordan-Young, Professorin für "Women' s, Gender and Sexuality Studies" an der Columbia University und Katrina Karkazis, Kulturanthropologin und Bioethikerin in Yale und New York, gehen in ihrer Untersuchung "Testosteron" dem Mythos um das gleichnamige Hormon auf den Grund. Ihr Fazit nach einem Blick hinter den Vorhang der Forschung fällt vernichtend aus. Rezension von Phillip Kampert.

Non-Fictie Boek van de Maand April | Sfinx, samengesteld door Maartje Laterveer In deze tweede aflevering van Radio Savannah worden Lola en Suzanne bijgestaan door super special guest Thijs Joores. Samen bespreken ze het non-fictie boek van de maand april: Sfinx, waarin Maartje Laterveer dertien essays samenbrengt over 'de man'. Wat betekent het om man te zijn? En wat is de rol van mannelijkheid in het vormgeven aan het dagelijks leven? Interessant he, die mannen? Als je verder wilt lezen over mannen en mannelijkheid, probeer dan bijvoorbeeld een van deze titels: Jongens waren we - Jan Postma " Jongens waren we" biedt een caleidoscopische blik op mannelijkheid in de literatuur en onderwerpt klassiekers aan een nieuwe lezing. Van Baldwin tot Bordewijk, van Bellow tot Birney. Met essays van onder anderen Marja Pruis, Rob van Essen, Maxim Februari, Niña Weijers, Lotfi El Hamidi, Theodor Holman, Joost de Vries, Rasit Elibol en Miriam Rasch. De maakbare man - Maxim Februari Zodra je aan de buitenwereld laat weten dat je verder wilt leven als man, krijg je algauw met vreemde vooroordelen over mannelijkheid te maken. Zo blijkt geslachtsverandering een goede aanleiding eens na te denken over mannelijkheid en vrouwelijkheid. De maakbare man biedt daarom niet alleen een aantal wetenswaardigheden over hormonen en lichamelijke veranderingen, maar gaat ook kort in op verschillende sociale aspecten van de transitie. Testosterone - Rebecca M. Jordan-Young & Katrina Karkazis Testosterone is neither the biological essence of manliness nor even the "male sex hormone." It doesn't predict competitiveness or aggressiveness, strength or sex drive. Rebecca Jordan-Young and Katrina Karkazis pry testosterone loose from more than a century of misconceptions that undermine science while making social fables seem scientific. Maar hoe zit het dan met vrouwen? Heb je toch liever een boek over gender dat vertrekt vanuit vrouwelijkheid, probeer dan bijvoorbeeld een van deze titels: Wolf - Maartje Laterveer Het zusje/vriendinnetje van Sfinx! In Wolf ondernemen dertien vrouwen een zoektocht naar het antwoord op de vraag: 'Wat maakt de vrouw?' Met essays van Merel Bem, Basje Boer, Anaïs Van Ertvelde, Bo van Houwelingen, Emy Koopman, Maartje Laterveer, Nelleke Noordervliet, Marja Pruis, José Rozenbroek, Maral Noshad Sharifi, Naema Tahir, Yaël Vinckx en Herien Wensink. De nieuwe feministische leeslijst - Marja Pruis Welke boeken moet de moderne feminist eigenlijk gelezen hebben? Marja Pruis schakelde een keurkorps aan denkers in om een actuele canon voor een nieuwe generatie lezers samen te stellen.  Met essays van onder andere Niña Weijers, Mounir Samuel, Bregje Hofstede, Franca Treur, Fiep van Bodegom, Roos van Rijswijk en Clarice Gargard. Moet ik dan kiezen tussen mannen en vrouwen? Natuurlijk niet! Hieronder een aantal mooie boeken over non-binaire genderidentiteit. Genderqueer - Maia Kobabe Autobiografische graphic novel van Maia Kobabe, die we volgen in een zoektocht naar de eigen identiteit. Mooi persoonlijk boek voor iedereen die wilt lezen een verkenning vanthema's als non-binaire genderidentiteit en aseksualiteit. Let: Engelstalig. Nonbinary - Micah Rajunov & Scott Duane Bundeling van persoonlijke verhalen over de manier waarop ons binaire denken voer gender vorm geeft aan ons dagelijks leven. Voor iedereen die allergisch is voor hokjesdenken. Let: Engelstalig.

La atleta sudafricana Caster Semenya es bicampeona olímpica y tricampeona mundial. El cuerpo de Semenya produce, de forma natural, más testosterona que la mayoría de mujeres. La Federación Internacional de Atletismo la obligó a medicarse para reducir sus niveles de testosterona si quería seguir compitiendo. Hablamos con su abogada Katrina Karkazis

An interview with Rebecca Jordan-Young, professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College. The interview focuses on Professor Jordan-Young's research into the science of gender and sexuality, particularly her most recent book Testosterone: An Unauthorized Biography, which she co-authored with Katrina Karkazis.

When women first began competing in elite sports, an important question cropped up: who exactly is a woman? Fears that men would simply plop on a wig and a petticoat in order to compete, to the perceived disadvantage of women, arose, and sporting officials began checking the gender of competitor.    What started as so-called “naked parades” has morphed into a pseudoscience of hormone testing, clitoris measuring, and suspicion-based investigating. Like many aspects of gender, these cases aren’t simple—as a decade of controversy surrounding South African runner Caster Semenya has shown.   For today’s discussion on sports and hormones Katrina Karkazis. She’s the co-author of “Testosterone: An Unauthorized Biography.” She’s also the Senior Visiting Fellow at the Global Health Justice Partnership at Yale University and the Carol Zicklin chair at Brooklyn College.   For more information on today’s episode visit helloclue.com/hormonal.

At the top of the show Shireen, Jessica, and Lindsay talk about Halima Adan on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue [2:16], the show features an interview from Episode 52 with Dr. Katrina Karkazis (7:40), they get into the decision to reject the appeal of South African runner Caster Semenya [29:14] and then the crew dives into the complexities about the women's hockey collective that is boycotting women's hockey leagues in North America. [42:77] Then, of course, we have the Burn Pile, [1:01:48] BAWOTW, [1:09:04] and What's Good!

Olympic gold medallist Caster Semenya, from South Africa, has lost her appeal against proposed rules from track's governing body that require some female runners to lower their naturally high testosterone levels. It's a ruling that's expected to have huge implications on the future of women's sports. Today on Front Burner, Katrina Karkazis helps us understand why. She's a bioethicist who's been studying the regulation of hormone levels in women's elite sports for years.

We spoke to Katrina Karkazis who has previously testified as an expert witness in the Caster Semenya case, amid reports that the IAAF wants the women's Olympic 800m champion to be classified as a biological male. For business of Sport we were joined in studio by Blue Bulls CEO Alfonso Meyer and Marketing/Communications Manager Shanil Mangaroo. We also looked at the SA teams chances ahead of the start of the 2019 Super Rugby season with Simnikiwe Xabanisa.

Recently we’ve been hearing a lot about transgender identity. That made us wonder… what makes us the gender that we are? And what should you do if your kid doesn’t fit the mold? To find out, we talked with endocrinologist Dr. Joshua Safer, psychologist Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper, and psychologist Dr. Colt Keo-Meier. Check out the transcript: http://bit.ly/31k0oNk UPDATE 3/29/19 : An earlier version of this episode misinterpreted a study regarding the question of how many children who visited a gender identity clinic grow up to be trans. The episode has been updated accordingly. We've explained the change in detail in the transcript. UPDATE 1/17/19: An earlier version of this episode implied that all people who are intersex are born with indeterminate genitalia. This is incorrect and the episode has been updated.

This week, we speak to anthropologist and ethicist Katrina Karkazis about regulations passed down from the IAAF dealing with testosterone testing of women. We talk about how they came about, the lack of scientific process in their formulation, and it’s impact on women of color, predominantly in the Global South. During Choice Words, we’ll look at how some ex NFL cheerleaders are fighting back against the leagues policy towards them. Our ‘Just Stand Up’ Award goes to a bunch of athletes taking a stand against bigotry and Donald Trump, and our ‘Sit Your Ass Down!’ award goes to an NBA fan base. As always, we've got a Kaepernick watch and more on this week's show!

The whole gang is together this week! Amira, Shireen, Lindsay, Brenda, and Jessica talk about the NFL draft (some of the good, some of the bad). Then Brenda interviews fellow flamethrower, anthropologist, and bioethicist Katrina Karkazis about the International Association of Athletics Federations’s new, terrible regulations for female athletes with naturally higher testosterone levels. Then the gang responds to the interview and has a discussion about all that is wrong with these racist, sexist rules.

As Feyisa Lilesa of Ethiopia crossed the finish line to win silver in the olympic marathon in Rio, he raised his arms and crossed them above his head in protest against his own government. With this simple act, Lilesa brought the world’s attention to the plight of his Oromo people and the struggle to keep their land out of Ethiopia’s ruling party's hands. Feyisa Lilesa has etched himself into Olympic protest history and we salute him with the ‘Just Stand Up’ award. But first, I speak with scholar Katrina Karkazis about Caster Sememya. Not only did the South African blaze past all her competitors for gold in the women’s 800 meters, Semenya did so under the most intense media scrutiny, while guarded by an ever-present security detail, and with her sport’s governing bodies, the IOC and IAAF, still governing women’s bodies in invasive and illogical ways. ’Choice Words’ is about the real Olympic drama, which begins now that the games are over. And finally, we hear from listeners who called the Edge of Sports hotline at: (401) 236-3343 (EDGE). This week, we want to know: who was your most iconic athlete or performance of the Rio Games?

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other international sports federations have recently introduced policies which require a medical investigation of women athletes known or suspected to have hyperandrogenism. Women who are found to have naturally high testosterone levels and tissue sensitivity are banned from competition unless they have surgical or pharmaceutical interventions to lower their testosterone levels. But a recent analysis published on bmj.com says that these tests and procedures are at best not medically necessary, and at worst totally unethical. In this podcast we're joined by two of the authors, Rebecca Jordan-Young, professor women's gender and sexuality studies at Barnard College, and Katrina Karkazis, bioethicist at Stanford centre for biomedical ethics.
