Physical activity and sport engagement in the transgender population
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the barriers and challenges that some transgender people experience when engaging in (or attempting to engage in) physical activity and sport. Throughout the chapter we will consider how socially and medically transitioning may interact with these barriers and affect physical activity and sport participation. The current policies regarding transgender people in competitive sport will also be discussed. We will then move on to exploring how physical activity and sport can be made more accessible and comfortable for transgender people.
