Just noting this article here as a very rare, but extremely gratifying, example of someone at the BBC (yes, ok it's BBC Sport) understanding the difference between sex and gender.

Dr Katrine Okholm Kryger, a senior lecturer in sports medicine at St Mary's University in London who specialises in football, said recent discussions have focused on whether the injury risk is sex related - the female anatomy and hormones, or whether it could be gender related - the way female athletes are raised and managed compared to male athletes.

Thanks for linking that here. Very important as knees are flipping vital.

Not sarcasm, btw. I've had knee injuries before, although thankfully not an ACL.
