PRESENTERS: Callie Youngman and Ellie and DL McKinney

Throughout the 20th century, sport was a catalyst for social and racial integration. But that integration was not without blowback - immense, violent, coordinated. The Civil Rights Acts and Title IX changed the landscape for sport in the United States and around the world. In this 21st century, the new frontier - in regards to civil rights, Title IX and with sport - is robust and stabilized integration for transgender and non-binary athletes. While support for the LGBTQ community broadly has never been higher, we are experiencing immense, violent, coordinated attacks on the civil rights, Title IX protections and access to sport (and other school-sponsored programs) for trans and non-binary communities. In this interactive workshop, participants will engage with foundational terminology, gain important understandings of the tenuous policy landscape, and leave with concrete action steps/skills for advocacy. Workshop
