Transgender Martial Artists
Channel: Goju Ryu Philosopher
Date: 2020-08-29

Some people are transgender, and that means that some martial artists are transgender too. I wanted to take a look at how trans people are treated in the martial arts community, and what they go through when they train, teach, and compete. This video aims to explore issues that trans people face in martial arts communities, why I think that might be, and how we can make the karate community say Trans Rights.
