Summary

The face of female sports is changing。

Radical gender activists are using a pseudoscientific theory of human biology to hijack sports and subvert the long-established concepts of fair play — forcing women and girls to risk their safety, pushing them aside for male athletes using the excuse of “inclusivity。”

Anyone who questions this dogma risks being branded as a transphobe and having their social and professional lives “cancelled”。

In the new book, Unsporting: How Trans Activism and Science Denial are Destroying Sport, former Canadian track champion Linda Blade and renowned National Post columnist Barbara Kay, examine the dangers of gender ideology in sports。 They document the attack on biological facts upon which the level playing field of sports rests。

Tackling issues few have the courage to say out loud, Unsporting shows the harm inflicted on female athletes, and identifies the institutions driving this movement。

What does the future hold for sports if biological reality is ignored? Blade answers that question, and concludes with a reasonable plan to reverse course。

Wonderful read in an era of madnessWe need more clear thinking, concise reads like this in the public domain。 A must read for every father who has a daughter。

This book addresses an extremely divisive issue from a perspective of self-evident scientific truths that every man and woman implicitly understands, despite the best efforts of extremist activists to obscure the issue。 However, women and girls have been left to deal with the fallout after politicians and bureaucratic organizations sacrificed them to be considered "inclusive" by these activists。 Dr。 Blade is brave to stand up for women and girls in sports, and hopefully will inspire others to as This book addresses an extremely divisive issue from a perspective of self-evident scientific truths that every man and woman implicitly understands, despite the best efforts of extremist activists to obscure the issue。 However, women and girls have been left to deal with the fallout after politicians and bureaucratic organizations sacrificed them to be considered "inclusive" by these activists。 Dr。 Blade is brave to stand up for women and girls in sports, and hopefully will inspire others to as well。 。。。more

Linda Blade is a coach and the president of Athletics Alberta。 She has a PhD in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University, a Chartered Professional Coach designation in track and field, and is a former champion heptathlete。 If anyone is qualified to talk about the differences between male and female bodies, it's Linda。This is an absolutely excellent book that brilliantly summarises (with hundreds of citations) the problem with and impact of men identifying into women's sport categories。With the O Linda Blade is a coach and the president of Athletics Alberta。 She has a PhD in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University, a Chartered Professional Coach designation in track and field, and is a former champion heptathlete。 If anyone is qualified to talk about the differences between male and female bodies, it's Linda。This is an absolutely excellent book that brilliantly summarises (with hundreds of citations) the problem with and impact of men identifying into women's sport categories。With the Olympics in Tokyo coming up, we must make clear that we will absolutely not accept the medaling of men in women's categories, that this will shame the IOC, the host country, and the male athletes whose entitlement is costing women and girls their right to compete in spots that they have earned through years of hard work。If you don't know anything about this issue, this is the book to read。 If you do, this is the book to cite。 I'm so honoured to call Linda a friend and as a fellow feminist I couldn't be more happy that she has been able to get this published。 。。。more
