Resumo

This study explored and analyzed student athletes’ perceptions of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in gender-specific sports in the Philippine Education System. To better understand student athletes’ perceptions of LGBTQIA+ participants in any gender-specific sports, we used structured interviews. This study was conducted using a qualitative methodology, specifically a phenomenological research design. Phenomenology is a qualitative research method that is ultimately suited to gain a thorough understanding of the actual process that describes the informant’s lived experiences. Through this design, we investigated how student athletes perceived LGBTQIA+ inclusion in gender-specific sports from multiple perspectives. This study presented different results, Inclusion and Acceptance of LGBTQIA+ Individuals in Sports, Gender-Inclusive Practices and Competencies in Sports, Mitigation of Gender Identity Discrimination, Identity Expression and Comfort in Sports, Equality and Equity in Training Regardless of Identity, Gender Identity in Sports, Absence of Exclusions Based on Gender Identity, and Inclusion Efforts. In conclusion, having a member who identifies as LGBTQIA+ is neither a curse nor a blessing because athletes do not find it offensive; instead, it brings them joy at the end of a long day. Athletes contribute what they can because they feel respected by their teammates.
