While races are starting to put nonbinary categories, there’s often an issue with the system they use for their booking. While the race might have nonbinary categories, the system they use doesn't.

And many races use the same system here in the UK. These systems need to have a nonbinary category, because if the race puts a nonbinary category in and the system doesn’t, it's just irrelevant.

So it's not just about talking to race organisers, but also about talking to the companies that are providing the systems for these races as well.

Things like facilities are a huge barrier, toilet-wise – if you don't feel like there's a toilet that you can use, that can be a deal-breaker for a lot of nonbinary people.

And it's a simple fix. It shouldn't just be, "Oh, you can use whatever toilets you want and hopefully you won't get harassed."

A lot of these races use porto loos and there's no reason why they can't be gender neutral.

I often get messages from people in my inbox who have asked me, "I don't know what to do. When I enter races, people shout abuse at me. What should I do?"

And the answer is, "There's not much, which is terrible. You can go to the race directors to say what's happened. If it's really bad, go to the police."

But this shouldn't be happening, and there really should be something in place at these races to make sure that this harassment doesn't happen in the first place.

There should be a specific procedure that you can go through or contacts that you can go to, to report something if it does happen.
