I was a competitive fencer from the age of 10 to 25. At that time, there was almost no information about LGBTQ+. As a transgender, if I wanted to be myself, I wouldn't have my career as an athlete, and if I wanted to continue competing, I wouldn't be able to be myself. Fifteen years have passed, and society has gradually changed. Let's work together to create a sports world where everyone - regardless of their background, can play in a way that feels true to themselves, not just limited to LGBTQ+ individuals!
