Campaigning for equality and recognition of human rights in sport - Kristen Worley #57 by LawInSport via #soundcloud soundcloud.com/lawinsport/cam…
In this podcast Kristen Worley, athlete and, equality and human right campaigner, talks about her personal journey campaigning for the equality and human rights to be recognised in sport.
This journey led Kristen to take a landmark case to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against the Cycling Canada, the Ontario Cycling Association and the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
The case challenged the "policies, guidelines, rules and processes surrounding XY female athletes, gender verification and therapeutic use of required hormones that are captured by anti-doping regulations.
In this podcast Kristen talks about her early years, research relating to XY females, athlete licensing systems and the limitations of such systems when athletes try to access competent bodies to hear disputes relating to human rights issues.
I recommend you read in more detail about her cases in the links below:

Let’s end this asinine “war on drugs”. Prohibition didn’t work with alcohol, it made things worse. And doesn’t work with drugs, either.
Beating the drug epidemic is going to take a holistic approach.There is no one-fit all solution to the scourge of drugs it has to be a combination of education, good parenting,mental health services, better rehab facilities in our regions & prisons & getting tough on dealers.
Harm minimisation programs such as pill testing and safe injecting rooms & needle exchange programs won’t solve the drug epidemic but they do save lives, they do make the community safer & they minimise the harm to the drug user, their families & the community.

Fact @USASwimming 16.5% of elite male athletes are competitive in their sports despite having endogenous T levels below 8 nmol/L which casts massive doubt on the relationship between endogenous testosterone and athletic performance.
The primary function of androgens is not muscle mass or human performance, but to create cell synthesis to assure and maintain body communication and one’s health.
If you take that away, the body becomes disabled as it can no longer maintain body health and well-being, due to the role that androgens play at a physiological level. It also takes away your sexuality.

Should not be entitled to a cent. Non believers should not be taxed to pay for the promotion of others beliefs.
The controversy over Citipointe Christian College’s new contract of enrolment is causing probably the heaviest controversy in Australia over LGBTI issues since October 2018 (when the Ruddock religious discrimination report was partially leaked), and for good reason.
We don’t merely have a public figure saying something offensive; we have an explicit commitment by a powerful institution to mistreat vulnerable people within it. The backlash is not an example of a violation of religious freedom.

The previous International Olympic Committee (IOC) policy was 10 nmol/L, this article ”incorrectly” claims it was double the standard of the new USA Swimming is implementing.

swimswam.com/usa-swimming-p…
The old IOC 10nmol/L rule is based on immunoassay testing, & USA swimming new policy is based on liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, or LCMS, for short. Basically, the 10 nanomoles on an immunoassay is equivalent to approximately 7.5 nanomoles by LCMS.
The idea that Usa has half the testosterone limit is absolutely not true, because you're talking about different testing methodologies.

Endogenous testosterone is the only natural physical characteristic for which women/female athletes are deemed ineligible. There are no such characteristics for which men/male athletes are deemed ineligible.
The irony is that the @WorldAthletics main evidence Bermon and Garnier (2017) establish my argument against T limits for women’s sport. One-eighth of cis men are naturally already below the upper ‘normal’ range for cisgender women.
There’s no relationship between endogenous testosterone and performance in men. There is a highly dubious relationship, at best, in women.
