Non-binary athletes navigating Canadian sport with little policy help Globe_Sports
The CCES started work in that area by inviting Canadian sport organizations to participate in a survey about non-binary inclusion.
“Inclusion is not about making room in your existing system for marginalized people. Inclusion is about creating a new system where everyone feels safe and welcome.“It’s about re-thinking sport, how we’re organized, how we deliver it and thinking about how it can be done in a way that does create safe and welcoming spaces for trans persons and now non-binary persons.”
“When I think of non-binary, gender-fluid and gender non-conforming folks, if we’re having a policy and we’re trying to work in a binary, but our identities don’t fit into a binary, then where do we fall in this grey space?” Petrucci asked.“The truth of the matter is, if we end up inadvertently or otherwise discriminating on the basis of gender, it’ll end up before a human rights tribunal no doubt,” he said.
South African runner Caster Semenya and female athletes like her with high natural testosterone are barred from racing certain distances internationally unless they undergo hormone treatment six months prior to racing.
