Natalie Washington can still remember how it felt to score her first goal back on the pitch after around two years away from the beautiful game.

It was a special moment for her - not least because the last time Natalie was playing, it was in the men's leagues.

She's a fascinating guest on the podcast this week, as she shares her story of what it's like to be a trans-woman in football and so much more besides.

There’s loads to chat about – from where Natalie’s love of sport came from; her transition and what inspired her to come back to the beautiful game; her views on the portrayal of the trans community in sport; and what pivotal event rekindled her love of football.

We’re really grateful to Natalie for taking the time to chat in such an honest and open manner - so we hope you give this episode a listen.
