So I made a post on my local sub on r*ddit (bad idea in hindsight) asking if anyone knew of any local tennis coaches who would be would be offering lessons this year.
I added to my post that i‘m only looking for a female coach, as I’m female myself and uncomfortable around men I don’t know.
I’m honestly not surprised but my post was downvoted, I only received one helpful comment and the rest are calling me discriminatory because of my female only preference for a coach, there were a few comments asking if I would be okay with someone who is non binary but I have a feeling they’re not planning to offer any lessons, they’re just gauging my scale of political correctness.
In conclusion, I am having zero luck looking for a female coach, and people seem to get offended that I’m looking for female only lol
I hate how hard this is. I had a really great male PT who asked permission to touch me every time he pushed a shoulder back or similar but it was still a hassle. I’m doing barre classes now and have a female teacher and it’s so much easier as she walks up the line pulling an ankle or pushing a hip.
It shouldn’t be a thing to want a female coach.
