The Inclusion of trans and non-binary people in sport: It’s a matter for everyone!

In recent years, the issue of the participation of trans and non-binary people in sport has gained greater prominence. Unfortunately, this issue too often drifts towards a discourse tinted with transphobia, where prejudices and stereotypes, rather than being combated, are reiterated. Moreover, sport is often used as a tool in transphobic arguments.

In this webinar, we will explore the nature of prejudice and stereotypes towards trans and non-binary people in the context of sport in order to better demystify them and show how they are not rooted in science (E-Alliance, 2021). Next, we’ll outline concrete actions that can be implemented to promote greater inclusion of trans and non-binary people in sport, such as the transaffirmative approach (Pullen Sansfaçon, 2015).

About our speaker:

Marilou St-Pierre holds a Ph.D. in communications from Concordia University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa’s School of Human Kinetics. They are a researcher at Université Laval’s Laboratoire sur la progression des femmes+ dans les sports au Québec (Lab PROFEMS). Their research focuses on the place of women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the Quebec and Canadian sports ecosystem.
