Fair Play: How Sports Shape the Gender Debates

An interesting read on both sides of the coin.
Very based on the American system.
Key messages:
There is this idea that somehow transgender people have sports superpowers - not all transgender people go on to be champions, but this is definitely the perception.
This book also touched on the question of
“what will happen to women's sports?” The point raised is that women's sports will continue growing; more people are watching women's sports on television than ever before. The threat to that progress is not transgender girls; it's media who ignore women's sports, women receiving fewer opportunities to participate, and professional athletes still practicing in high school gyms or community centers. It's the stories of rampant abuse from coaches and doctors and administrators.
