Reflection on The Crosswind Tour:
Resources
One of the goals of the tour was to gather more resources and stories from the community in order to reduce the media gap. Many of those stories will come out throughout the season as we settle down and organize our crew of writers.
Our first set of resources come from the incredible support of Athlete Ally, an organization in New York whose mission it is "to end the rampant homophobia and transphobia in sport and to activate the athletic community to exercise their leadership to champion LGBTQ equality." We partnered with them for our event in New York, and they sent along great resources moving forward. Check them out below!
Key Resource Sites:
Articles:
- The Humiliating Practice of Sex Testing Female Athletes
- How the Olympics can Embrace Non Binary Athletes in 2020 + Beyond
Books:
- The ABCs of LGBT+
- Gender Testing in Sport: Ethics, Cases and Controversies
- Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sports
