“You wouldn’t place in the mens race” is the most ironic insult I hear yet one of the most frequent. That’s literally the entire point of hrt as an athlete. You’re right, I used to place against men just fine and now my times have decreased so much it’s only equitable in the woman’s division.

It feels relevant to post this piece I made on my experience as a #trans athlete last year. The work was in reference to the constant harassment I faced throughout the competitive season while having my voice supressed. There are no greater experts on trans athletics than trans athletes.

Rain, snow, shine, casual, or dressed up, I will always show off my tattoos 💕🏳️‍⚧️

From my first year getting one and hiding it from my family for months, to my back piece I somehow hid during thanksgiving. Each year my annual tattoos have marked my own progress~ Time to start brainstorming for 2025 💅

#trans athletes voices continue to be silenced and dismissed as misinformation and hate spreads like wildfire. It has been impossible to try and get my voice out there over the past year despite being the incredibly few current and competitive trans athletes.

Two facility records and school records set today 💪… I may be slower than my 8th grade self but we’re getting closer and closer. Great way to start of the season~

No matter what they try it’ll be hard to get rid of a #trans athlete like me 🏳️‍⚧️💕

Finally made a bluesky account so I’ll introduce myself ->

Im a tran athlete, two time NCAA All-American, and probably one name your uncle brought up on thanksgiving in a transphobic rant.

I stream DnD, listen to too much music, do photography on the side, and have a lot say about trans issues.
