Our understanding of gender has evolved over time, and our recognition of gender as a fluid social construct is more deeply understood now, more than ever. However, many of our systems, including sport, still cling to the notion of the gender binary. These systems often rest on an erroneous conflation of biological sex and gender, leading to exclusion and misunderstanding. This panel aims to explore gender in triathlon, with particular focus on how athletes, race directors, industry professionals, and federations can work to create a more inclusive environment for all triathletes no matter their gender identity and/or expression.
