Winning and losing
Thank you for all you do! This is important work and you are an important role model for younger female athletes who are facing this issue. In a recent interview you and your guest talked about how it’s not about winning - holding that trophy and standing on the podium. As the parent of two athletes, I just want to add an important point. No one gets to that podium without losing - a lot! One the benefits of athletics is you learn how to get past the losses. And sometimes it isn’t fair - an injury isn’t fair, the calls aren’t always fair, etc. The issue of biological men playing in female sports is not the same thing. It’s fundamentally and completely antithetical to the whole point of female sports. I don’t know any champion who wants to lose but handling losses is not a new problem for them. Resilience comes with the territory. This is about justice and we have every right to fight for it.
