This is a complicated subject. It’s controversial, too – we get that. But it’s crazy that an athlete would have to fear for their personal safety because they want to race a bike. It’s crazy that @rachelvmckinnon has to hide her home address – not because adoring fans will show up at the home of a World Champion, but because she’s received death threats for being a transgender athlete. But on the Strava Podcast, we tell athlete stories, and Rachel has been an athlete her whole life. So we’re proud to feature her in our latest episode to try to give a human voice to this complex issue and hopefully make the discussion a little less hateful. So, whatever your opinion on the subject, we just ask you this: listen to Rachel's story before you leave a comment. You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
