Racing Club, one of the big teams in Argentina, made history by giving the membership card to a non-binary person. It is the first of the historic clubs in that country to do so.
Since July of last year, in that country non-binary people have the opportunity to reflect it on their identity document. The measure was taken to allow people who do not reflect themselves as men or women to have a gender identity. This is reflected with an X on the document, rather than an M or F.
Now, Racing becomes the first major to give a card to a non-binary person and they celebrated it on their social networks. Vélez Sársfield had already done it before, who associated Naimid Cirelli.

“I recently saw that Vélez had given a card to a non-binary person. So I decided to ask Racing, I contacted Racing Feminista and they responded to me on the spot, they made me a bridge with the partners department, ”explained Cape, 31, in a video published by the club on their social networks.
“They treated me with a lot of respect and they didn’t ask me many questions, they just asked me for my ID with my data and that’s all.. For me it is a lot because I tried to do this in other places and I was always the one who accommodated myself to institutions that did not want to change me or did not give me a ball, “she assured.
Cape recalled that in his family there is already a tradition with Racing. “The one who is from Racing is my dad. I have two brothers too and he made all three of us Racing fans. From a very young age I always came to the field. And well, not only to the field, but we came to the club to have barbecues , to celebrate birthdays, to the pool… In my childhood I spent a lot of time in the club beyond the field, for me Racing is my family”, he expressed.

“Now I am 31 years old and we continue to come to the court with my brothers and my father, that is my story. It was a great plan for children to come. When I was born my father made me a member, but at 7 or 8 years old he could no longer pay plus the fee. At 15 I became a member again. I couldn’t not be a member. For me, Racing is synonymous with family and a sense of belonging,” he concluded.
