About this listen

On the face of it, women's sport is on the rise, garnering more attention and grassroots involvement than ever before. However, the truth is that in many respects progress is stalling, or even falling back.

Sharron Davies is no stranger to battling the routine sexism the sporting world. She missed out on Olympic Gold because of blatant doping among East German athletes in the 1980s, and has never received justice. Now, biological males are being allowed to compete directly against women under the guise of trans 'self-ID', a development that could destroy the integrity of female sport. This callous indifference towards women in sport, argue Sharron and journalist Craig Lord, is merely the latest stage in a decades-long history of sexism on the part of sport's higher-ups.

A strong fightback is required to root out the lingering misogyny that plagues sporting governance, media coverage and popular perceptions. This book provides the facts, science and arguments that will help women in sport get the justice they deserve.

Good thought provoking and well written

There are some very good arguments in this book covering today’s issue with trans athletes and fair play, referencing various studies and past doping within the Olympics. Can be a /little/ heavy on the stats but this is only to prove out points being made.
More people need to stand up with Sharron on this subject with a view to keeping sports not only safe but fair for everyone who competes.

Fair play in sports

Well written, balanced and informative. A really important contribution to the debate on fairness and safety for women and girls in sports. Highly recommend.

Important

I cannot believe that this is even an issue.

With all that is happening to women around the world, we have to fight against the right of SOME men to enter women’s sports. Throughout history, and across the world bad actors know who to target when they want to harm women. Now suddenly that women are beginning to get some degree of equality and rights, SOME men have pulled a reverse Uno card to be included as well.

But thanks to all the brave women and men who are standing up and saying no
