*REBROADCAST* Be an Ally with Megan & Saxton Tobin (Episode 40)

*REBROADCAST* Be an Ally with Megan & Saxton Tobin (Episode 40)

This week on the podcast, Shaunna and Lisa welcome two very special guests, Saxton Tobin and his mom, Megan Tobin. Saxton is an 17-year-old trangender athlete, and he and Megan speak about his experience in triathlon and what they have learned along the way.

Many of our listeners strive to be allies to underrepresented groups within their communities, and it is important that we all continue to do so. It’s also important that we act in ways that demonstrate our allyship - not just label ourselves as allies. Saxton and Megan weigh in with their best advice on how we can all be better allies to trans folks within the endurance sport community, and on how we can interrupt the “fiction narratives” that are often created around trans athletes’ participation in sport.


Our most important takeaway from this conversation with Megan and Saxton is that the best thing we can do to demonstrate our allyship is to listen. Listen to what trans folks in our triathlon communities are saying and asking for, and include them at the table when decisions are being made about their participation in sport. This will help us move toward a sporting community that values the voices and opinions of groups that have previously been excluded or oppressed in the endurance sport community.
