OH MY GOD, HOW DID I NOT DISCOVER THIS SOONER?!

I tried wheelchair racing for the first time today and it was so fun. I remember why I used to like sports. Things are so much easier when you aren't in as much pain!

I cannot express just how happy I am right now.

also apologies for falling off the face of the earth my chronic illness decided to chronic illness real hard the past couple days

One thing I’d really advise to other disabled people, especially young people, is to join a para-sports / activity club. Obviously there’s all the benefits of exercise but for me it’s also been super important having a community of people of all ages, both disabled and abled, who understand me and have a lot to teach.

At uni I only know a few other wheelchair users, they’re all my age and mostly just figuring things out the same as me. At rugby I know people with a huge range of disabilities and tons more experience than me who have all been happy to give loads of advice and help me.

One of my disabled teammates noticed my wheelchair wasn’t very good, so when he ended up with a spare really nice one he gave it me for free.

Then, when the handles of that chair were too long to fit in my car boot with the back seats up, some of the able-bodied people (like people’s PAs and dads) brought in their tools to cut down the handles to a better size.

When I have a bad experience with a doctor and the 40 year old woman with long-term health conditions on my team is shocked at how I was treated, I know it’s not just me overreacting.

I love playing wheelchair rugby, but I never really understood when people say it’s about more than just the sport until now.

(and use common sense, obviously not everyone is lucky enough to have access to para-sports clubs, and not every disability is suitable for every sport, don’t get mad at me for saying it can be helpful just because it doesn’t work for literally every disabled person. But if you’ve ever considered sports I’d really encourage you to reach out to a club and try! It can be a lot of effort and work, but the benefits can be really worth it)

I went to a basketball game tonight and they had a boy there whose job was to run out and wipe sweat (or blood) off the court after someone fell so the players don’t fall. do you think exy would have someone like this? would they have to open and close the doors every time someone fell to let them on and off the court? or do you think there’s a dugout type situation they could go into that has no plexiglass?

So the armour and uniform the players wear would actually help with this, so every time they fell there wouldn’t be a puddle of sweat someone could slip on. For example Neil wears arm sleeves and long socks, and as someone who used to wear padding (like elbow and knee pads) having that fabric between your skin and the straps is HIGHLY recommend so I see most players doing the same.

As for the blood, you can’t play if you’re bleeding. It’s a health hazard. Abby almost pulled Neil for a bloody nose but because he’s Neil he pretended he wasn’t bleeding. So, if a player is bleeding, they would need to be pulled. And to do that the play would need to be stopped. At that point I could definitely see someone going out to clean up a mess.

I also think during any breaks (like half time) the court would get a quick wipe as well. As for where they wait during play, it’s probably just an area similar to the benches, just outside the plexiglass

* sport day

“  ¡cuidado!  ” gritó cuando vio que la pelota que recién había pateado con toda sus fuerzas volaba a toda velocidad directo hacia una persona que había aparecido de la nada, y cuando lo inevitable pasa e impacta con un sonido seco. maldijo por lo bajo y corre en dirección al afectadx, con la preocupación pintándole las fauces. “  perdón, no vi que venias saliendo. ¿te lastimé?  ”

Another example for SheWon

July 13, 2023

A 49-year-old trans-identified male seized the bronze medal in the women’s 400m T12 running competition at the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships in Paris. Valentina Petrillo holds several women’s titles and had broken multiple women’s running records, but won his first women’s world championship medal at Chartley Stadium today.

Petrillo, born Fabrizio, was racing against Omara Durand of Cuba, Alejandra Perez Lopez of Venezuela, and Fatima Ezzahra El Idrissi of Morocco. Due to their visual disability, Durand and Lopez competed with guides, who were wearing bright yellow vests and assisted the women to ensure they stayed on the course of the track.

In the final result for the 400m race in the T12 visual impairments category, Petrillo took the bronze, displacing El Idrissi.

According to the World Para Athletics Championships guidance on participation, “an athlete shall be eligible to compete in women’s competition if she is recognized as female by law.” But their policy book goes on to note that it will “deal with any cases involving transgender athletes in accordance with the [International Olympic Committee’s] transgender guidelines.”

Peter Eriksson, the record-making former head coach for the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic program, spoke to Reduxx on Petrillo’s bronze placement.

“It’s shocking to see that women’s opportunities to a medal were taken by a cheating 49-year-old male,” Eriksson said. “The International Paralympic Committee is diminishing the rights of fairness in women’s sport by allowing transgender athletes at their events.”

Eriksson calls the World Para Athletics guidelines a “cop-out,” noting that every sporting authority has the ability to create their own rules. He also says that World Para Athletics policy was adapted from that of World Athletics, which recently ruled that trans-identified males who underwent a male puberty were no longer eligible to participate in women’s championship competitions.

“It’s a cop-out not to make a stance in support of women in sport. It feels kind of like they are trying to push the blame onto the IOC,” Eriksson says. “They adapted World Athletics rules and should also adopt the World Athletics regulation on transgender and DSD participation.”

As previously reported by Reduxx, Petrillo currently holds 8 women’s running championship titles, but failed to earn even one while competing as a male. Petrillo first changed his name to Valentina and began taking estrogen in 2019. The following year, he began competing against female athletes and has since broken multiple Italian women’s running records.

Petrillo has been diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a disorder of the eye that causes retinal degeneration over time. Due to this visual impairment, he has been permitted to compete in both matches designated for women with disabilities, as well as those which are not.

In September 2020, Petrillo raced in the women’s 100-, 200- and 400-meter competitions at the Italian Paralympic Athletics Championships in Jesolo, despite not having undergone “gender affirming” surgery.

At the time, Petrillo hadn’t even updated his identification documents, which still listed his sex as male, though this did not prevent him from being entered into the match. He won first place in all three races and therefore qualified to represent Italy at the Tokyo Olympic Games. But after a last-minute intervention by the Italian government, Petrillo was barred from competing against women with disabilities at the Paralympics in 2021.

At the Master’s Athletics Championships in Arezzo in October 2020, Petrillo outpaced both Cristina Sanulli and Denise Neumann, both of whom had previously won world and European Masters titles and have been regarded as the best in their events. Sanulli and Neumann would later sign a petition calling for men to be barred from women’s sport.

In March of this year, Petrillo competed in and took the win at the 200m race for women aged 50 to 54 at the Italian Indoor Masters Championship in Ancona.

Leading up to the race, a women’s rights advocacy group called RadFem Italia contacted government officials to ensure that Petrillo would not be granted access to the women’s locker rooms. In response, Petrillo was provided with a designated changing room specifically for him at the race grounds.

Petrillo soon after lashed out in a Facebook post wherein he equated criticism of his presence in women’s sports to Nazism, telling detractors they were “on the same level as Hitler” and comparing sex-based sports categories to a 1936 ban on Jewish athletes.

Upset at being denied the use of the women’s locker room, Petrillo wrote, “In Ancona, you made me have a terrible time, it is not fair… you’ve relegated me to a ‘dedicated’ locker room,” a situation which he claimed was similar to the segregation of those called appestati, or sufferers of a plague.

Reduxx also previously revealed that Petrillo admitted that he used to “try on his mother’s clothes” when he was younger, a behavior that was considered a symptom of a sexual disorder known as transvestic fetishism until recently.

He has also said that prior to declaring a transgender identity he would steal his wife’s clothing. While describing a memory of “touching” his mother’s skirt for the first time, Petrillo said, “It was an incredible emotion. It was like touching heaven with your finger tip.”

World Cup Anime of the day: Ani x Para: Anata no Hero wa Dare desu ka

Alt title: Animation × Paralympic: Who Is Your Hero?

Released: 2017

This is a collection of animated specials about parasports. Each episode features a different sport; the first one is soccer. I found this to be a cool collaboration project. The episodes not only feature characters from other sports anime but also sections featuring actual Paralympians. Each episode is about 5 minutes long and there are only 15 episodes in total.
