Some leagues are well-established, having been in existence for over 25 years, whereas others are relatively new, but their collective presence tell stories about the sizable and changing dynamics of queer communities in Canada. Within Toronto and Vancouver, the two major cities tied to this research, there are numerous queer leagues including, softball, hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and dodgeball. Within other smaller cities, queer teams and/or leagues exist, but not with the same numbers or history. This book focuses on leagues that have previously identified as women's or lesbian and are now becoming trans and genderqueer inclusive. Queer community leagues are based in a commitment to community building - prioritizing fun, socializing, and inclusivity over competition and/or winning. As a result of these commitments, these spaces - and the bodies that come to play in them - reflect new ways of being in and with bodies, different ways of embodying gender, and new and/or different forms of engagement, notably different "rules of play" within sporting arenas. This book considers the disruptive potential of queer community sports on the embodiment of gender and sense of social belonging, with an awareness of numerous factors that limit this potential."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 135-142) and index. 505 0 $a Bodies at play -- Queering gender in play : community sports, spaces for diverse gender embodiments? -- Queer sports : re-imaging space, community, and inclusivity -- Concluding thoughts: Forging new paths.... 650 0 $a Lesbians and sports $z Canada. 650 0 $a Gays and sports $z Canada. 650 0 $a Lesbian athletes $z Canada. 650 0 $a Transgender athletes $z Canada. 650 0 $a Gay athletes $z Canada. 650 0 $a Sports $x Social aspects $z Canada. 650 0 $a Athletic clubs $x Social aspects $z Canada. 650 7 $a Gay athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939061 650 7 $a Gays and sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939307 650 7 $a Lesbian athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996460 650 7 $a Lesbians and sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996585 650 7 $a Sports $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130525 650 7 $a Transgender athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765094 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 776 08 $i Online version: $a Carter, Claire, 1976- $t Who's coming out to play $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2021 $z 9780228006411 $z 9780228006411 $w (OCoLC)1197735098 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBFD7DCAAE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
