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.   Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org  Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok , Instagram , Threads , Bluesky , and Facebook .
