Amsterdam (AFP) – Zipping around an indoor skatepark in Amsterdam, skaters take advantage of a new space that welcomes LGBTQ and women to a sport that, despite its laidback image, has long battled with sexism and homophobia. “When I was still identifying as a girl I would even get standing ovations because I could ride on a board” says Flip, who is trans and manages the park, “I’m super happy that we have a place now.”
