Prof. Doriane Lambelet Coleman (Duke) on Women's Sports and Transgender Questions

|

Prof. Doriane Lambelet Coleman (Duke Law School) kindly blogged for us in early 2019 on how transgender competitors should be treated in women's sports; she is the author of Sex in Sport, a law review article on that very subject. Since the topic continues to be in the news (for instance, in light of the Lia Thomas / Penn swimming controversy), I thought I'd repost that series, with a few updates from Prof. Coleman in light of recent developments.

I'd also love to link to or post views on the other side of the question; I've asked some colleagues for recommendations of people who might participate, but if you folks have any suggestions, I'd love to see them.
