This book uses the world of sports in order to reveal the complicated history of gender, sexuality, race, and social justice while connecting those stories to today's athletes. It highlights the ways sports often contribute to inequalities, but also how they can help make the world more accepting.

Abstract Data protection laws are an advancement in protecting individuals but are not without criticism. Although discrimination on the grounds of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" systemically violate LGBTQIA+'s fundamental rights and freedoms, the Brazilian National Congress failed to explicitly list either personal information as sensitive in the Brazilian General Data Protection Law. Exploring the hermeneutical flexibility of this law, this article argues that both "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" are under the sensitive data list. The aliases used in this protection are "sex life" and "race." A human rights-based interpretation of the former leads to the conclusion that "sex life" encompasses "sexual orientation" and/or "gender identity" due to, inter alia, human dignity and non-discrimination imperatives. In turn, Brazil's Supreme Court decisions have considered discrimination over "sexual orientation" and/or "gender identity" to be a form of social racism. Thus, while not explicitly listed, both "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" compose the list of sensitive data under LGPD.

El artículo aborda el tema de la desigual participación política de género en Italia en los ámbitos nacional y local. Se esboza un cuadro sintético de la situación de la presencia de las mujeres, exigua minoría, en el Parlamento desde la posguerra hasta hoy; a continuación, se pasa a considerar las disparidades de género en los órganos de gobierno y de representación regional y local. Se formulan interpretaciones de la marginación de las mujeres en la política en relación con el contexto social de referencia y se proponen posibles cambios a raíz de algunas experiencias locales que muestran un renovado fermento participativo y de movilización política de las mujeres en los últimos años. ; This paper examines the unequal political participation of women and men in Italy, both at national and local level.

This article aims to identify the fashioned 'look' of sound, and the sound of a fashion look, by investigating a significant precedent in the early music video canon: 'Ashes to Ashes' (1980), co-directed by David Mallet and David Bowie. The article analyses the three characters that Bowie performs in the video in recognition of three recurring concerns of fashion theory: time, space and masculine sartorial identity. The character of Pierrot is considered through understandings of modernity and postmodernity, including the reciprocal influence of the nostalgic-futurist 'New Romantic' movement. The character of Major Tom is evaluated with regard to different understandings of 'space' in the music video. Finally, a third persona, a man who inhabits the atmosphere of a padded cell, is looked at in association with Bowie's legacy in contemporary masculine fashion.

The projective Franck Drawing Completion Test (FDCT) is assumed to reflect the unconscious gender identity. A community sample of 42 men aged 20–34 years completed the test. A correlation was found between high (independent) occupational positions and masculine scores of she FDCT
After seven years a re-test was performed by 27 men. This yielded an acceptable individual long-term stability in particular of the clinically important gender-opposite scores. The FDCT appears to relate to aspects of masculinity such as activity, expansion, and outward social commitment.
As the test is truly non-obvious to the subject it is useful in the clinical investigation of for instance persons seeking sex reassignment.
