Can a single test determine what a person’s biological sex is? Explore the variety of ‘sex verification’ tests used to determine athletes’ eligibility to compete in women’s sporting events in this new interactive, a significant update to our previous resource on sex, genes, and gender. The interactive includes a review of human sexual development and determination, including anatomy, genetics, and physiology, and has students investigate two case studies of fictional athletes before considering a real-world example.
