Hartley Presents CLE Program on the Regulation of Transgender Athletes

The one-hour program will feature insight into recent developments in the regulation of transgender athletes. Hartley will discuss the challenges associated with defining the women’s category, protective measures historically restricting the participation of transgender women in women’s sport, and how the sports world has seen conflict regarding this issue. She also will discuss the recent introduction of dozens of state legislative measures across the country that would prohibit transgender girls from participating in girls’ youth or scholastic sport.
