This episode is a collaboration between Sports Will Save Us All and “T-Time with Tori Totlis”, the number one women’s golf podcast in the world.
Tori and Sasha sat down with Dr. Bobbi Lancaster, a transgender woman who competed as a professional golfer after her transition from male to female at age 60. Bobbi was the first transgender athlete to compete in the LPGA’s Q-School and she was instrumental in changing the Cactus Tour’s female-at-birth gender policy.
Bobbi has been such a force for change in the golf world and had been such a vocal supporter of other transgender athletes, that she astounded the golf world just a few days before we were scheduled to sit down with her when she was quoted in GolfWeek as saying, “I don’t think it’s fair to have transgender women like me competing against cisgender women in women’s sports. Period, end of story.”
Bobbi had always held nuanced views of transgender women competing against cisgender women, but this felt like a major shift and we wanted to understand what had caused it and why she felt that way.
I have divided our conversation with Bobbi into 3 episodes that will all drop this week, this is Part 2 of 3.
Please note: This interview contains discussions about sex, genitalia, Depression, and suicide.
