Advancing Equity Diversity Inclusion and Belonging means understanding the impacts of racism, sexism, homophobia, ablism, etc. AND how to create environments that create belonging and if possible, healing. Trauma is an invisible presence in all rooms that is constantly effecting how people cope, regulate, and relate. Trauma-informed practices (TIP) is a framework created for the medical world and adapted as a tool for creating safer anti-oppressive environments.

In recent years, the issue of the participation of trans and non-binary people in sport has gained greater prominence. Unfortunately, this issue too often drifts towards a discourse tinted with transphobia, where prejudices and stereotypes, rather than being combated, are reiterated. Moreover, sport is often used as a tool in transphobic arguments.

In this webinar, we will explore the nature of prejudice and stereotypes towards trans and non-binary people in the context of sport in order to better demystify them and show how they are not rooted in science (E-Alliance, 2021). Next, we’ll outline concrete actions that can be implemented to promote greater inclusion of trans and non-binary people in sport, such as the transaffirmative approach (Pullen Sansfaçon, 2015).

They are a researcher at Université Laval’s Laboratoire sur la progression des femmes+ dans les sports au Québec (Lab PROFEMS).
