to access “women-only” spaces, particularly in the Japanese Twittersphere.
The conversation encompasses topics such as the enrolment of trans women in
women’s universities and their use of women’s bathrooms or public baths. The
debate concerning trans inclusion in sports is another aspect of this discursive
proliferation. This study examines the “feminist” discourse on the participation
of transgender women in women’s competitions in the domain of sports. Two
of the most commonly occurring and visible discourses pertain to oppositional
constructions: trans exclusion because of the differences and trans inclusion
because of the sameness. This study contends that both groups of discourses are
grounded in the sexist logic of female inferiority and that both rationales reinforce
the gender binary that roots the heteropatriarchal gender order. It further argues
that the “feminist” discourse on trans exclusion aligns with the transphobic
conservative faction in attacks against the rights of trans people. Such debates also
allow the warping of feminist politics by far-right conservative groups to advance
misogynistic, homophobic, racist, and imperialist political agendas through sex
control in sport., 井谷, 聡子},
