<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Our final panel of the day, <a href="https://www.goodpush.org/node/1283">Queer and Trans Inclusion</a>, featured guest speakers ranging from program mangers, coaches, LGBTQI+ role models and researchers. Alexandria Berriochoa (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/skatelikeagirlsea/">Skate Like a Girl, Seattle)</a> shared her experiences of re-finding her skateboarding community after coming out as trans. Addressing the contradiction of creating </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><em><span>ex</span></em></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>clusive spaces for </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><em><span>in</span></em></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>clusivity, she reiterates the necessity of these spaces for queer and trans people, to allow non-traditional skaters to ‘fail until they get it right’. A luxury mostly reserved for traditional skaters within the skatepark.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
