Abstract

In this special issue introduction for "Sports and the Limits of the Binary: Trans and Nonbinary Athletes and Equity in Sport,"we provide an overview of the contemporary landscape of trans/nonbinary athlete inclusion, from both academic and nonacademic perspectives. We especially highlight the sociology of sport's contributions to the literature on this topic, as well as the key foundations and influences from black, queer, decolonial/postcolonial, and disabled scholars. We then introduce ourselves as the guest editors of this special issue and how we arrived at this area of research before closing with brief synopses of each article in this issue.
