The series is written by Rigg and co-written and directed by Hannah McElhinney. It is a Snack Drawer Original production, produced by Amina Soubjaki and edited by Carly Paterson.<\/p>\n<p>Principal production funding is from Screen Australia in association with NZ On Air, along with support from TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Rigg said, \u201cI had to stop playing sport because I needed to affirm my gender to be myself. To be happy. I want<em> TransAthletica<\/em> to help show people the immense amount of challenges that transgender and gender-diverse people face in sport, how a simple answer to inclusion may not be the best one and, ultimately, drive home the fact that trans people don&#8217;t just deserve the right to play sport, we deserve the opportunity to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis series is so important because transgender athletes are so often told by the media they have an \u2018unfair advantage,\u2019 yet face more unfairness on their road to compete than most other athletes,\u201d McElhinney added.<\/p>\n<p>Felicity McVay, director of content partnerships for TikTok Australia and New Zealand, commented, \u201cTikTok is a diverse and inclusive community where creativity thrives and where everyone can find their voice and be celebrated for being their authentic selves. We want everyone to have this opportunity and are excited to support <em>TransAthletic<\/em>a, a series that aims to expand our understanding of the issues facing trans people in sports.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TransAthletica, a 15-part docuseries featuring the voices of transgender athletes, has received funding from Screen Australia and TikTok\u2019s Every Voice initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18127,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[6215,5057],"class_list":["post-18126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-screen-australia","tag-tiktok","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Screen Australia Teams with TikTok for TransAthletica Doc - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Screen Australia Teams with TikTok for TransAthletica Doc - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"TransAthletica, a 15-part docuseries featuring the voices of transgender athletes, has received funding from Screen Australia and TikTok\u2019s Every Voice initiative.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-05-18T15:11:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/ScreenAustralia-TransAthletica-0522.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/\",\"name\":\"Screen Australia Teams with TikTok for TransAthletica Doc - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-18T15:11:48+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-05-18T15:11:48+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/screen-australia-teams-with-tiktok-for-transathletica-doc\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Screen Australia Teams with TikTok for TransAthletica Doc\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
