ABSTRACT
This chapter has examined the complex reality of sport, gender and sexuality. Winning further freedoms requires a coordinated effort, and, as such, any contribution that sport can make must build on a wider coalition of sustained support for other social and progressive policies. It requires the harnessing of a strong political narrative and an action plan that fits with many people's intuitive understanding that life should not be determined by socioeconomic position and geopolitical location, and that people do have choices. The focus on different forms of inequality can detract from a focus on the activity involved in advancing additional freedoms that can be won at any given point in time. These freedoms can be at the level of the individual or much broader communities, but, in a normative, substantive and active sense, the winning of further freedoms for individuals or communities limited by gendered inequality and injustices brought about by and through sport, gender and sexuality remain critical today.
