Sporting arenas should be environments where women and girls can present their appearance without judgment or restriction. Female athletes have repeatedly pushed boundaries within sport, reshaping public perceptions and definitions of who they are. Personal appearance and athletic identity are separate but compatible facets of self-expression. Individuals can choose to align their on-field presentation with their off-field identity, or maintain different styles in each context. Supporting diverse expressions of identity fosters inclusion, respects autonomy, and acknowledges the evolving nature of gender and athletic representation.
