This paper assesses how a team of female rugby players understood experiences with serious head injuries. It also considers theoretical implications for the relationship between emergent and more complex gender ideologies and health. The study is based on focus group interviews following a game where eighteen players from a single team suffered a concussion or concussive event. It concludes gender transformations embodied by ‘alternative femininities’ performed via sport hold kernels for gender equity and wellness while simultaneously enabling certain problematic aspects of traditional hegemonic masculinity to remain and/or become normalized for both men and women. In some respects, this study reveals an informative model for all sportspeople – women and men – to follow. Nevertheless, there is reason to remain apprehensive, for the (re)gendering that seems to be taking place may, at the same time, be masking and thereby reinforcing norms that are detrimental to the long-term well-being of athletes.
