A new book by ESPN writer Katie Barnes examines the impact of gender on sports and the rapidly evolving conversation around transgender inclusion.
with transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, has finally answered the question people have asked them for years: What does a fair and trans-inclusive athlete policy look like?
Barnes, 32, wrote that one of their earliest memories is of dribbling a pink rubber basketball in the driveway of their family’s rural Indiana home at 4 years old. They continued to play basketball as they grew up and coached the sport in college. Sports, and women’s sports in particular, have been integral in their life.
Yearwood and Miler, who are both trans women, for example, made headlines after they won a number of girls’ track and field races between 2017 and 2019. Their wins led four runners who are cisgender women, or not transgender, to. Barnes interviewed another transgender girl running on Miller’s team at the same time who didn’t make headlines because she didn’t win.
In “Fair Play,” Barnes goes through the various studies that people in favor and against restrictions on trans athletes’ participation have cited, and notes that, to this day, there has only been one published study on the performance of transgender athletes.
Barnes said they decided to finally come out with their personal opinion on the divisive issue because they owed it to readers.
