Sex Testing : Gender Policing in Women's Sports
In 1968, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) implemented sex testing for female athletes at that year's Games.When it became clear that testing regimes failed to delineate a sex divide, the IOC began to test for gender--a shift that allowed the organization to control the very idea of womanhood.Ranging from Cold War tensions to gender anxiety to controversies around doping, Lindsay Parks Pieper explores sex testing in sport from the 1930s to the early 2000s.Pieper examines how the IOC in particular insisted on a misguided binary notion of gender that privileged Western norms.Testing evolved into a tool to identify--and eliminate--athletes the IOC deemed too strong, too fast, or too successful.Pieper shows how this system punished gifted women while hindering the development of women's athletics for decades.She also reveals how the flawed notions behind testing--ideas often sexist, racist, or ridiculous--degraded the very idea of female athleticism.

What gender does the ugly gender have?
The concept of an "ugly gender" does not exist. Gender is a social construct that is not inherently tied to physical appearance or attractiveness. It is important to recognize that beauty standards are subjective and should not be used to define or categorize gender.
-
Doesn't the gender thing support gender roles?
The concept of gender is separate from the idea of gender roles. Gender refers to the social and cultural expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary, while gender roles are the specific behaviors and activities that society expects from individuals based on their gender. While the concept of gender can influence and perpetuate gender roles, it also allows for the recognition and acceptance of diverse gender identities and expressions beyond traditional roles. By understanding and challenging the construct of gender, we can work towards breaking down restrictive gender roles and promoting equality and inclusivity for all individuals.

What does gender and gender identity mean to you?
Gender and gender identity to me are about how individuals perceive and express themselves in relation to societal expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary. It is a deeply personal and complex aspect of one's identity that can influence how they navigate the world, interact with others, and understand themselves. I believe that everyone should have the freedom to define and express their gender in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.

The Language of Gender-Based Separatism : A Comparative Analysis
This Element shows how two social movements, lesbian separatism and Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), reflect the changing and complex (anti-)feminist ideologies of their time.The authors outline the historical and political background of those discourses and how they are influencing contemporary gender relations.The materials analysed comprise ten manifestos, which are examined with a combination of data-led discourse analysis and theory-led argumentation analysis.The manifestos are similar in that both sets of authors construct homogenous in-groups and out-groups as well as dichotomies between them.There are some differences though in how this is linguistically realised and who is classified as an out-group.Both groups cast social actors in particular roles and establish ethical norms, but strategic planning and utopias are more prominent among lesbian separatists.Freedom, advantage and authority are central in each group's argumentation, but lesbian separatists also stress humanitarianism while MGTOW focus on financial matters.

Gender Hurts : A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism
It is only recently that transgenderism has been accepted as a disorder for which treatment is available.In the 1990s, a political movement of transgender activism coalesced to campaign for transgender rights.Considerable social, political and legal changes are occurring in response and there is increasing acceptance by governments and many other organisations and actors of the legitimacy of these rights. This provocative and controversial book explores the consequences of these changes and offers a feminist perspective on the ideology and practice of transgenderism, which the author sees as harmful.It explores the effects of transgenderism on the lesbian and gay community, the partners of people who transgender, children who are identified as transgender and the people who transgender themselves, and argues that these are negative.In doing so the book contends that the phenomenon is based upon sex stereotyping, referred to as 'gender' – a conservative ideology that forms the foundation for women's subordination.Gender Hurts argues for the abolition of ‘gender’, which would remove the rationale for transgenderism. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of political science, feminism and feminist theory and gender studies.

Trouble With Gender : Sex Facts, Gender Fictions
Sex used to rule. Now gender identity is on the throne. Sex survives as a cheap imitation of its former self: assigned at birth, on a spectrum, socially constructed, and definitely not binary.Apparently quite a few of us fall outside the categories ‘male’ and ‘female’.But gender identity is said to be universal – we all have one.Humanity used to be cleaved into two sexes, whereas now the crucial division depends on whether our gender identity aligns with our body.If it does, we are cisgender; if it does not, we are transgender.The dethroning of sex has meant the threat of execution for formerly noble words such as ‘woman’ and ‘man’. In this provocative, bold, and humane book, the philosopher Alex Byrne pushes back against the new gender revolution.Drawing on evidence from biology, psychology, anthropology and sexology, Byrne exposes the flaws in the revolutionary manifesto.The book applies the tools of philosophy, accessibly and with flair, to gender, sex, transsexuality, patriarchy, our many identities, and our true or authentic selves. The topics of Trouble with Gender are relevant to us all.This is a book for anyone who has wondered ‘Is sex binary?’, ‘Why are men and women different?’, ‘What is a woman?’ or, simply, ‘Where can I go to know more about these controversies?’ Revolutions devour their own children, and the gender revolution is no exception.Trouble with Gender joins the forefront of the counter-revolution, restoring sex to its rightful place, at the centre of what it means to be human.

Should traditional performance evaluation be reconsidered?
Yes, traditional performance evaluation should be reconsidered. The traditional approach often focuses on past performance and can be subjective, leading to biases and unfair assessments. Instead, organizations should consider adopting a more modern and holistic approach that includes ongoing feedback, coaching, and development opportunities. This approach can provide a more accurate and comprehensive view of an employee's performance and potential for growth.

What is a performance assessment?
A performance assessment is a method of evaluating an individual's or a group's skills, knowledge, and abilities in a real-world context. It involves observing and measuring how well a person or team performs specific tasks or activities related to their job or field of study. Performance assessments often include tasks such as presentations, projects, simulations, or demonstrations, and are designed to provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of a person's capabilities compared to traditional tests or exams. These assessments are commonly used in education, professional development, and employee evaluations to gauge practical application of learning and skills.
