Transgender

Reading time: 3 minutes

Research conducted by the National LGBT Partnership in 2016 found that people who identified as something other than male or female were some of the most inactive people in the LGBT+ community, with up to 64% of people surveyed not physically active enough to maintain good health (The National LGB&T partnership, 2016). As gender and identity continue to become a more prevalent topic of debate in schools, a PE department must consider ways to encourage and empower transgender pupils in PE.
