Tune in as I continue my conversation 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. Listen in as we explore Bobbi's struggles with job loss and financial instability after coming out as transgender. Discover how golf became her refuge and opened up a new path, ultimately leading to a spot on the Cactus Tour. Bobbi gives her thoughts on the national media attention she garnered through the years thanks to her advocacy and the gradually changing tide of acceptance for transgender athletes in sports. Bobbi shares her experiences speaking at prestigious universities, serving on the national board of the Human Rights Campaign, and the power of storytelling in transforming lives. Inspired by Elie Wiesel’s legacy, Bobbi touches on the power of speaking out against injustice and the power of a single individual to enact change. From humorous anecdotes on the golf course to insights into navigating the LPGA's transgender policy, my conversation with Bobbi sheds light on the evolving landscape of inclusion in professional sports.
