"i never considered myself much of an athlete growing up. Really, it wasn't until i began my social and medical transition that i found sports as a healthy outlet. In the same year that i started hormones, i ran my first half marathon and full marathon. Seven years later, i've completed eight marathons, one ultra marathon, and too many half marathons to count. At the same time, i've changed every part of my life for the better, including my gender expression. Today, i work my hardest to protect the rights of other trans, nonbinary, and intersex people to enjoy sports and compete at every level."
