Everyone involved in this site — including, yes, the person writing this — is either queer themselves or a cool-as$ ally. We work for an athlete storytelling company, but the truth is there aren’t many stories about us.
We exist, we’re here, and you are, too.
We wanted to create a place where queer athletes can tell their stories, or, if they haven’t quite written them yet (uhh, welcome to the club!), ask questions to help discover themselves.
1.) Click the “submit a question!” button
2.) Fill the box with whatever you’re wondering. They could be questions around new feelings, expressing yourself to your coaches or teammates, or general confusion you may have.
We’ve partnered with some incredible queer pro athletes — check the schedule to see who will be answering each week of Pride month! — who will do their best to answer and express their perspectives and thoughts to the best of their ability.
Feeling safe is of the utmost importance, so it’s 100% anonymous; you’ll never be asked to give your name or email. And we do have some guidelines:
We’re excited to hear from you and honored to be part of your journey. We’ll be here in the meantime.
Today, Tomorrow, Always,
Your Queer Friends @ UNINTERRUPTED

I am a DIII athlete and considering top surgery but not HRT. Would I still be able to compete in the NCAA if I get top surgery while in college?
"Yes, you absolutely can get top surgery and also still compete in the NCAA.
There are no rules that mandate certain sizes of one's chest, and that's really what the rule would be saying — you couldn't get top surgery and also play. So yes, you can compete and have top surgery.
The only thing that I'll recommend is to make sure that you are taking care of yourself as you recover. Most doctors recommend somewhere around 7 to 10 weeks of recovery, and so I would strongly recommend adhering to that.
Do not get back into a pool or onto a field or get back to the weight room too soon because you'll risk your recovery and your wellbeing. The thing I told myself is I need to give myself this time so I can have the rest of my shirtless life."
