#Intersex, #PCOS, #CAIS, the construction of the illusion of binary, the erasure of medical fact in human diversity, and discrimination in #sports as #women fight society’s invalidation of their bodies. https://blackyouthproject.com/pcos-and-intersex-a-case-for-solidarity-against-the-binary/ #feminism #blacklivesmatter
2018 Presentation by athlete, professor, researcher and activist Dr. Rachel McKinnon, on women and inclusion in competitive #sports .
Quick body/hormonal diversity references for the busy (see images).
