Goodreads - Seconds Out: Women and Fighting

7/7 end🧵
The author is a kickboxer and boxer but i think all women who do any #combatsports for fun or professionally would enjoy and relate to much of it.

She takes a much needed swing at the #transgender hate/panic as well, exposing it as policing women's bodies. They test for xx chromosomes - she notes women are tested for testosterone but men aren't tested or banned for higher natural testosterone. Michael Phelps wasn't banned for his long arms and flexible joints or Ian Thorpe for his flipper feet.

2/7 Seconds Out by Alison Dean

There are good discussions on a variety of things - self-defense (myths, studies, she has the same misgivings I do), blood (period=bad; man's face bleeding=impressive; woman's face bleeding=unacceptable), tears, existing/working in male dominated spaces/sports.

🧵1/7
Not so much a review as some notes-

This is as much a memoir as about fighting itself. The subjects are woven together perfectly. She knows what she's talking about historically and experientially. Far better than The Gift of Fear or whatever is generally recommended in #selfdefense and women in sports.
