Athlete is Agender
"Athlete is Agender" is a personal essay by Marieke Nijkamp about being a nonbinary athlete navigating sports, gender categories, and self-acceptance. Written for older teens and adults, it blends memoir with reflection on how institutions handle gender, inviting readers to consider fairness, belonging, and joy in competition. Parents and educators may use it as a discussion text for high schoolers exploring gender identity, language, and inclusion in sports contexts. Because it’s brief and more essay than curriculum, it works best alongside other resources, but its clarity and honesty make it a valuable, free or low-cost reading for thoughtful teens.
