The research found that just 11 per cent of non-binary youth between the age of 15 and 29 play an organized team sport.

Meanwhile, the sport participation rate among all Canadian youth aged 13 to 19 is 70 per cent, according to Martha Gumprich, the study’s author.

Half of the non-binary youth who don’t participate in sports cited teammates and coaches as the reason.

Oh man, that's awful.
