SSSF, a multidisciplinary social sciences sport studies journal, welcomes articles that deal with sport and social change and social stability in a wide sense, articles about the profound and comprehensive processes affecting sport.

Research that investigates the impact of heteronormativity on physical education (PE) is extensive. In this peer review article, Kristin Vindhol Evensen, Håkan Larsson and Elisa Strømman expand previous knowledge that describes PE as heteronormative, binary, and hierarchical by offering phenomenological analyses of transgender people’s experiences of PE. Where previous research has focused on structural binary arrangements in PE, this article describes the embodied experiences of such arrangements.
