1/n 🧵

I want to address a narrative that we see around women’s sport and inclusion (particularly from those who seek to exclude trans women & women with sex variations from women’s sport), and how this narrative is part of a bigger pattern that functions to keep women small
2/n
I have been hearing more frequently the narrative that women's sport apparently exists as a 'protected category' so that women can win (because, on this account, without it no woman will ever win again)
3/n
This is:

a) *not* the reason why women's sport exists as a category,

and b) it is *not* true that no woman will ever win again.

This narrative is profoundly paternalistic and keeps women small.

So before I get onto more about my current work, I though I'd do a quick thread to share my background and how I got to where I am today
I was born in South Africa, and grew up in Francistown, Botswana

Today Botswana has one of the world's fastest-growing economies, but it's history includes being colonised as a British Protectorate, gaining independence in 1966

I completed my undergraduate degree in Human Movement Science and honours degree in Sport Science at @UPTuks in Pretoria, South Africa

Hi everyone!

I'm Dr Sheree Bekker (she/her), a lecturer in the Department for Health @UniofBath

My (transdisciplinary) research contributes critical insights across a range of contemporary challenges in Sport Science, with a focus on injury prevention and safeguarding Selfie of a white woman in ...
My current research is focused on two key strands:

1) understanding the influence of gendered environments on sports injury, and
2) conceptualising gender inclusive sport

I want sport to be a safe space for all

🌈🏳️‍⚧️
What this means is that I'm interested in how gender influences injury in sports for girls/women, including trans women, as well as non-binary and gender expansive people

I also work on how we make sport more inclusive for all
