Episode Nine - 'Is Sport Really for Everyone?'

It’s the first week of January, the Christmas tree needles have (hopefully) been hoovered up, and thoughts for many of us turn to New Year’s Resolutions - lots of which involve physical activity! So - for the first Pridecast of 2022,  Alex and Shivani are discussing the relationship which the LGBTQ+ community has with sport… 

You’ll hear from Poet Sophia Blackwell on how gender conditioning takes place in schools from an early age, Ryan Atkin (the only out gay man in UK professional football) on toxic masculinity, Olympian Chelsea Wolfe on the accepting environment of freestyle BMX, and many more. 

Please note, some of the topics discussed in this episode might be sensitive and/or triggering. For help and support with any LGBTQ+ issues you might be facing, you can contact Switchboard on 0300 330 0630. Alternatively, the Samaritans are available twenty-four hours a day on 116 123.
