The key element to that participation is feeling where he belongs, and not about competition and success.<\/p>\n<p>Henig wrote on op\/ed piece for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/05\/opinion\/trans-athlete-swimming.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the New York Times<\/a> about the transition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first time I remember feeling different from the people around me was in fourth grade. I felt like I\u2019d been thrust onstage for a show without having been given a script. Every interaction seemed wrong. Recognizing my bisexuality in seventh grade gave me a degree of comfort, like a candle held out against dark confusion, but even then, so much of myself still felt impossible to discern,&#8221; Henig wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Henig said that swimming was almost a sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I felt most appreciated and closest to my true self when I was swimming, the sport that I\u2019d been doing competitively since age 4. In the water I could focus on the joy of racing. There is no feeling like pushing yourself to catch up to the person ahead of you, surprising yourself with what you\u2019re capable of. My strength and musculature \u2014 traditionally masculine values \u2014 were celebrated,&#8221; Henig wrote. &#8230; &#8220;But the more I clung to womanhood, the worse I felt. Realizing this with the help of my therapist, I dived deeper into queerness, exploring the balance of masculinity and femininity, especially with presentation in clothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The support system of Henig has made the most difference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve been fortunate to receive so much support from my communities, especially from fellow trans athletes. I\u2019m honored to be part of a group strong enough to withstand all of the undue attacks on our participation and personhood,&#8221; Henig said. &#8220;Living in authenticity makes me a stronger, better man. \u200cBeing trans is one of the least interesting things about me.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iszac Henig was an NCAA qualifier in March at the NCAA Championships, earning All-American honors.
