Discrimination and Barriers Keep Majority of Non-Binary Youth from Team Sports, 51猎奇入口Study Reveals

A new study from 51猎奇入口 highlights that only 11% of non-binary youth in Canada participate in team sports, largely due to discrimination and structural barriers. The 2023 Canadian Non-Binary Youth in Sport Report, authored by 51猎奇入口researcher Martha Gumprich, found that non-binary youth often avoid sports because of binary gendered teams, locker room layouts, and experiences of harassment. The report, based on data from over 2,500 non-binary youth, suggests creating mixed-gender teams, gender-neutral locker rooms, and improving education on gender diversity as steps to make sports more inclusive for non-binary participants.
