本文解决了一些关于男女二元划分的问题，这在传统上是大多数体育运动的核心。解决这一问题的一个策略是取消二元制，允许不同性别的运动员一起比赛。首先，由于将运动员“混合”在一起的方式不同，因此将引入两种主要的区分：“混合运动”（在一个团队中为一些男性和女性分配位置的运动，保留二元制）和“中性运动”（所有运动员根据成绩一起参加运动，无需区分性别）。其次，我将提出一项策略，修改现有的运动项目，创造新的运动项目，以适应不同性别的运动员参加“男女皆宜的运动”。这意味着要关注运动是如何构建的，以及它们测试的是哪些能力/技能。对于男女皆宜的运动，提出了两种逻辑：“能力/技能平衡逻辑”提出，我们应该寻求一种平衡，即我们目前所理解的女性和男性（以及性别中立的）能力/技能应包括在运动挑战中；而“复杂逻辑”则建议创造或修改运动，以测试更广泛的能力/技能。
ABSTRACT This paper addresses some problems arising with respect to the male/female binary division that has traditionally been central to most sports. One strategy for dealing with this problem is to remove the binary and allow athletes of different sexes to compete together. Firstly, since there are different ways of ‘mixing’ athletes together, a distinction between two major kinds will be introduced: ‘mixed sports’ (sports with an allocated position for a number of males and females in a team, which retains the binary) and ‘unisex sports’ (sport participation of all athletes together based on merit, with no need to distinguish between sexes). Secondly, I shall offer a strategy for the modification of existing sports and the creation of new sports that would accommodate athletes of different sexes in ‘unisex sports’. This means paying attention to how sports are constructed and which abilities/skills they test. For unisex sports, two kinds of logic are suggested: ‘balance of abilities/skills logic’ proposes that we should seek a balance of what we presently understand as female and male (together with sex-neutral) abilities/skills to be included in the sporting challenge; whereas ‘complexity logic’ proposes the creation or modification of sports so as to test for a wider spectrum of abilities/skills.
