To date Luce Irigaray’s sexual difference theory has had very little impact on sport feminism
studies. While sexual difference is still considered in some feminist circles as a regression to the
old idea of anatomy as destiny, Irigaray’s sexual difference theory is more about criticizing the
universal male subject and creating the possibility of female subjectivity. Irigaray’s work is focused
on language and normative categories. Using Irigaray’s sexual difference theory to analyse and
represent women’s rugby experiences allows us to go beyond the difference between biological
sexes. It concentrates on difference amongst women and within a fragmented and contradictory
female subject. To represent these experiences, a creative non-fictional personal narrative is used.^^^^
