In this episode, Nic and Adam are joined by Devin Ibañez to talk all about team sports. 

Devin is the first openly gay Major League Rugby player and is dedicated to LGBTQ+ advocacy in sport. We talked about what it means to play on a team, how individual identity relates to team identity, how sports can be made more inclusive spaces, and why it is important to do that. 

Devin is working to raise money for the Transgender Law Centre (TLC) in the US. The TLC advocates for a world in which all people are free to define themselves and their futures. Grounded in legal expertise and committed to racial justice, TLC employs a variety of community-driven strategies to keep transgender and gender nonconforming people alive, thriving, and fighting for liberation.

(It might struggle with a non-US phone number. This is not a mandatory field so you can leave it blank. If you need to put in a US postcode, I tend to use “90210” from the eponymous late 00s teen drama).
