111. (Part 1) Transgender Athletes, the Story of Professional Golfer, Dr. Bobbi Lancaster


Listen Later

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. 

About Bobbi Lancaster:

Bobbi Lancaster is a family physician, champion golfer, author, human rights advocate, and motivational speaker. She is also a transgender woman and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2010. She attempted to qualify for the LPGA Tour in 2013 and her efforts garnered international media attention. Bobbi’s efforts promoting awareness of transgender issues caught the attention of the Human Rights Campaign. She was elected to their national Board of Directors in 2016 and has worked tirelessly on their behalf, lobbying on Capitol Hill and at the Arizona State Capitol.
