Sport Disrupted Conference
30. – 31. Oct 2019 – Heinrich-Böll-Foundation
Sport Disrupted: Sex_uality Matters (Conference)
Sex_uality matters, and this becomes most apparent in the sports world: Competition is organized around normative notions of two, and only two biological sexes. But what happens if athletes fail to match the idealized versions of femininity and masculinity? Following the case of Ugandan middle-distance runner Annet Negesa, the film tackles the discriminating and racist sex testing policies enforced by sports governing bodies.
The film is based on the 2019 international conference „Sport disrupted. Sex_uality matters“: LGBTIQ and feminist sports activists engaged in a critical conversation about gender binary, sex testing, homo-, inter- and trans-phobia in sports, and mobilized for joint efforts to fight for a more inclusive sports world.
