Anonymous asked: Hi, I blog at From a Left Wing. I'm going nuts trying to recall the name of a trans artist who documented himself playing in a youth basketball camp - re-doing adolescence as a boy. It was such a touching project. Does that ring a bell? jenniferbdoyle [at] gmail
I personally don’t know the answer to this. Do any of our followers?
I am a female to male transexual. I raced downhill mountain bikes in a past life at the national level in female class. Now as I medically transition, I’m waiting to get back into the system as a male rider. Michelle Dumaresq who is also featured on this page has been an inspiration, a friend, and has taught me a think or two, and destroyed me at the races. Thanks Michelle
hey, i thought i’d add myself. my name is max, i’m 20, transmasculine/genderqueer, hockey player
Playing basketball as a man on a woman’s team has not been an easy thing. Having to choose between starting my transition and playing a sport that has been apart of my life for most of my life is a decision that I wish didn’t exist. If there was a way all players could play on the team they feel fit to play with, along with transitioning without breaking any rules that would be an amazing change. With all the struggles that come with being on a team of the wrong gender most of the time they are not noticeable because of the support my teammates and coaches constantly give me. Without their constant words of reassuring me that I am a guy on the team, I definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it. My happiness and success comes from them, and I appreciate them all for their love and support.
