<p>The Super Bowl (or should we say the Bad Bunny halftime show, featuring football) is coming up this weekend.&nbsp;While there aren’t any openly trans people participating in the competition, Imara chats with this week’s guest about where trans people fit into one of America’s most popular sports, especially since it has long been a space&nbsp; dominated by hyper masculinity.&nbsp;</p><br><p>First, Imara chats with Justine Lindsay, a former cheerleader who made history as the first openly trans person to cheer in the NFL. Then, Karleigh Webb, an LGBTQ sports writer and recreational football player shares what roles gender and gender identity play in football and how we might think about them in the future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org&nbsp;</p><br><p>Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@translashmedia?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/translashmedia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.threads.net/@translashmedia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Threads</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/translash.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/translashmedia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p><p>Follow Imara Jones on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/imara_jones_/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Imara_jones_</a>), Threads (@<a href="https://www.threads.net/@imara_jones_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">imara_jones_</a>), Bluesky (@<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/imarajones.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">imarajones.bsky.social</a>), X (<a href="https://twitter.com/imarajones?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ImaraJones</a>)</p><br><p>Check out our guests on social media:</p><p>IG @justinesimone_</p><p>IG <strong>@rocketdyne1965</strong></p><p><strong>X @Chardonnay_M</strong></p><p><strong>@karleighchardonnay.bsky.social</strong></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
