The subject of transgendered people is frequently in the news these days. It’s a reality that provokes reaction and debate in many sectors of society, including sports. Some show openness towards trans athletes, while others fiercely oppose their participation in sporting competitions. In the absence of a binding legislative framework, it is up to sports organizations to establish the regulatory framework to respond to this phenomenon. There are many issues to consider, including the inclusion of trans athletes in sport, as well as biological realities and equity concerns for high-level female athletes. Who within Canadian sports federations is responsible for adopting these regulations? Is there a legal vacuum? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Law students took a closer look at the rules applicable to trans-atheletes and their inclusion in Canadian sports, with the help of expert Me Patrice Brunet and Anthony Ferland, a young trans ringette athlete who spoke about his daily reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This video was produced by Maika Assels, Mira Boles, Justine Grenier, Mackenzie Harvey, and Maxim Prineau, law students who took part in the Visual Advocacy course offered by the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, Civil Law Section in the winter of 2023. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
