It turned out to be the beginning of a dark era in the history of women in sport. Young women were subjected to humiliating examinations and dozens of intersex athletes were suspended, although no fraud was ever uncovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book presents a compelling argument against gender verification, showing the pernicious effects that suspension inflicted on the lives of young athletes. Some withdrew from the public eye, lived in solitude, or even committed suicide. Compassionate profiles of these banned athletes highlight the unfair play of gender verification and of their exclusion from competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Dohle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476673780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476673783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Max Dohle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941471977727,"sku":"9781476673783","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a4a0aa6a-843e-4d7e-8370-c161d123b209.jpg?v=1681453116","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-say-im-not-a-max-dohle-9781476673783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
