Plenty of times I have talked to a shop assistant or a waiter in a cafe but never have I ever gone anywhere to meet and chat with people and introduce myself to anyone as Olivia. Here in Australia we have a awesome bunch of people called the Queer Sporting Alliance who's aim is to provide a safe space for all LGBTQIA+ to participate in sport. They have basketball, netball and roller skating at this stage. It just turns out I had done roller skating fitness classes the last few years and have really enjoyed it so I thought I would go and see what it is like. After some nervous decision making I decided to throw caution to the wind and go as Olivia.
Shaking like a leaf I walked past the front door once before walking in. I was instantly greeted by friendly faces and my nerves soon went away and I found myself chatting away like normal. I was in a safe and comfortable place where everyone was just free to be themselves without judgement. It was so refreshing to freely talk about being gender fluid and to hear the others situations. There were some amazing skaters there and some people only just learning. The two hours flew past and saying goodbye one moment struck me as special when a girl who had taught me a new dance move called out "Bye Olivia. Nice to meet you". That was the first time anyone had ever called me by my female name and it was a shock but a good one. I smiled the whole way home.
So if anyone who likes sports and is happy to be out in public femme I can't recommend them highly enough. Does anyone have anything similar in your country?
@oliviac What a brilliant day for you. We do have groups locally but not something that I feel ready to attend. Anna is still mostly under wraps.
My sport is running offroad, where dignity disappears after the first hill or mudpatch. Most ggs who take part do not wear makeup and hair styled, but worn in such a way it won't snag on low branches. There is a guy who runs that generally wears makeup and manages to keep it neat, but generally we all just look scruffy at the start and muddy and sweaty at the end.
@annaredhead I have done similar events to you Anna but walking instead of running and I agree it certainly isn't the place for being too feminine. It is however great fun and I take my hat off to you to be able to run as walking was plenty taxing enough for me.
I totally get that if Anna is under wraps it isn't something you could look at. Back 11 or 12 years ago no one knew about my dressing and at that stage I wouldn't have dreamed of going to something like that fearing the risk that there would be someone there I knew.
@oliviac Something I have observed is that I am by no means the only smooth-legged guy on a start line.
@oliviac I was about to respond with “I wish”, but it occurs to me that I live in a very rural environment. There may be such gender friendly clubs elsewhere. We simply don’t have the population to support it.
Hi Kim I think a lot of ducks have to be in a row for something like this to be workable. You have to be ready to put yourself out there which I wasn't till recently. Then the club needs to be local to you and do the sport you are interested in. Sadly for me the club isn't local so I got to go while I was interstate visiting a mate but can't do it regularly.
Olivia -
Bravo for you girl. Sounds like a fun time, hope you get back there soon.
XOXO

Thank you Suzanne. It was amazing. Unfortunately it was interstate. I was visiting a mate but next time I visit him I will be going again for sure.
Glad to see you had such a nice time Olivia. Felt good just being one of the girls, didn't it?
