Gym Staff
Your gym and USA Climbing rely on you to support competitions. Tell your gym to write to USA Climbing and encourage them to continue listening to feedback from Trans Athletes!
To [your managing staff],
As much as I love our community at [gym name], and appreciate the opportunity to work with coaches and athletes at USA Climbing competitions, I was disappointed and disheartened to hear the news of USA Climbing’s Transgender Athlete Participation policy and the many ways it impacts and excludes transgender athletes.
It has come to my attention that USA Climbing is in the works of a new policy and they they are taking into consideration the feedback of trans, nonbinary, and intersex athletes in this new process.
If possible, can our organization send a letter of support to USA Climbing at this time to encourage them to continue to listen to the impacted communities in our sport?
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
[your name]
