Sports journalist Grace Robertson explains what a powerful conversation, a game of footy and trans acceptance all have in common.
WORDS BY GRACE ROBERTSON IN COLLABORATION WITH VERSUS HEADER DESIGN BY JACK ROWE TW – Mentions of suicide and depression Why do I write about football?
On one hand, the answer is pretty simple: it’s fun, and I like doing it. I feel incredibly privileged that this is what I do for a living.
But there are times when I ask myself, with everything that’s going on in the world, why do I write about football? Shouldn’t I be talking about things that truly matter like the injustices I and others experience as trans women?
