257: Trans Awareness Week: Schuyler Bailar/ pinkmantaray | Part 1

Back in 2015, today’s guest Schuyler Bailar made headlines for being the first openly transgender athlete to compete in a US Division 1 National sports team. Since then, Schuyler has been named as one the most influential Trans activists and his Instagram (pinkmantaray) documenting his transition has helped educate trans and cis people all over the world. This is a beautiful chat about the intersectionality of being half Korean, trans and living in America, the importance of trans inclusion in sports and how engaging properly with trans people will change mindsets. Plus, hear the heartwarming story of when Schuyler told his Korean grandmother he was trans.You can buy Schuyler's book 'He/ She / They' <a href="https://thebookishtype.co.uk/products/he-she-they-how-we-talk-about-gender-and-why-it-matters-by-schuyler-bailar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. 📍 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1BdBfTC9sKZTTH7xdHFCdZ?si=2ed73870d86c4916" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Homo Sapiens Spotify Playlist</a>📍<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/homo-sapiens/id1257514825" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe here for ad free listening</a>📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials Facebook &amp; Instagram @Homosapiens📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.
