Anacronismo desportivo: o enigma que orbita a inclusão das pessoas intersexuais e dos indivíduos transgêneros na profissionalização olímpica

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the right of intersex people and transgender individuals to compete in high-performance sports competitions in accordance with their gender identity. To achieve this goal, the main issues that shaped the current sports scenario for the segmentation of athletes were addressed, with attributes of the field of human sexuality being conceptualized and the main historical constructions illustrated. In addition, the functioning of Sports Law and Sports Justice was explained, highlighting the essential factors related to the advantages or disadvantages of these subjects in accordance with the defense of equality in competitions. In research, bibliographic research and documentary study were primarily used. As a result, it was found that the current perspectives of medicine and sexology point to the promotion of the inclusion of these subjects, in the context of sporting events of an Olympic character, supported by the defense of testosterone as the main biomarker of differentiation between the male and female groups. In deepening the studies, it was noticed that the sporting horizon needs structural changes in favor of the visualization of athletes as being human beings in favor of encouraging categories more concerned with the effective particularities that drive real competitive benefits or harms, instead of simply raising sex verification and gender verification as an effective guideline for fair disputes. As a solution, it was presented the possible elaboration of indexes supported by characters that level attributes in an individualized way among the sportsmen, what can appear inside the already existing subdivisions or inaugurating new models of athletic gender. As an innovation, Quidditch was mentioned. It was found that Human Rights and that the Olympic Charter are essential to ensure that all people must participate in high-performance sports, which includes intersex and transgender individuals, in favor of a future in sports that avoids discrimination against the present diversity in human sexuality, because medical and sexological guidelines can be developed with the aim of fruiting realities that combine the flourishing of respect for gender identity with the obedience to sports fair play.
