“…Biofeminists argue that first, [] biological sex is fundamentally binary; second, [] the place of "females" in sport depends on the recognition of this biological "truth;" and third, that sports policymakers must choose between advancing the rights of interests of (cisgender) women or those of trans athletes, but can't do both. (Pape, 2022, p. 93) Both biofeminists and their conservative counterparts are mobilizing the voices of FAB athletes to legitimize trans-exclusive sport policies (Pape, 2022;Pringle & Denison, 2022;Travers, 2022). The FAB voices being broadcast to the public do not include those of cisgender athletes advocating on behalf of their trans teammates and friends, but only those FAB voices making trans-exclusive claims.…”

Increasingly, bills and policies prohibit the participation of trans women in competitive sport. The current sociopolitical moment begs the following question: how do interpersonal interactional moments function alongside formal policies and rules to shape trans athletes' experiences of belonging in sport? Although formal institutional rules govern trans athletes' ability to compete in sport, informal social sanctioning also denies these athletes equitable, or even de facto, membership in sport. I draw upon two case studies to explore trans athletes' experiences of membership in elite "women's" sport. I apply Evelyn Nakano Glenn's work on citizenship to consider how trans athletes' experiences of belonging are influenced by both formal rules imposed by organizations as well as informal social interactions with members of their sporting communities. Inclusion is not synonymous with membership. Trans athletes render visible the ways in which this system functions to contain the diversity of humanity's gender expression.
