Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Bobbi Lancaster, a family physician, champion golfer, and transgender advocate, who joins us alongside Sasha Graham, host of the "Sports Will Save Us All" podcast.
Together, we traverse the complexities of gender identity in the sporting world and the personal hurdles Bobbi had to overcome on her golf journey. From her formative years as a natural-born athlete to her life-changing decision to transition, Bobbi’s story challenges the preconceived notions of identity and fairness in competitive sports.
We also confront the unique hurdles that come with aging as an athlete, alongside ethical dilemmas concerning transgender golfers competing in championships post-transition.
Bobbi's candid reflection on her journey, from living a double life to the eventual embrace of her identity, is a heartfelt and inspiring testament to the power of authenticity.
