Description

In recent years, the media has depicted women's sports as a safe haven for queer women. But what about queer men? Trans folks? Or gender non-conforming people? This week, we seek to understand the queer experience in sport, how it differs between various gender expressions, and how we can work to make sport more inclusive. To do so, Sara welcomes Sports Psychologist and Researcher, Dr. Vikki Krane.Vikki chats about the toxic masculinity enwrapped in sport, and how this influences safe spaces for queer folks. Further, they outline how women's sports need more resources and an overall cultural appreciation to come further into the mainstream. Finally, Vikki discusses trans inclusion and how we can work to make a new system in which segregation based on gender isn't necessary.*** Support the Podcast *** InsideTracker: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feisty.

We live in a world where sport was made for men. Whether we're competing at the highest level or running a local 5k, we often feel like something is missing when it comes to getting the best from our bodies. That's because most of the research, product development, and cultural norms in sport are centered around men. Finding the right information can feel overwhelming. Every week it seems that someone is promoting a new diet, product, or regime that’s guaranteed to work. Getting the information you need to reach your goals shouldn't be so hard. That's why we cut the B.S. and find the information and trusted experts you need to get the best out of your body.
