Atlanta is home to the International Association of Trans Bodybuilders and Powerlifters.
The group’s goal is to provide a supportive place for trans people around the world to work out and lift, no matter where they are on the gender spectrum.
Each year, the IATBP normally hosts a bodybuilding contest. But because of COVID-19, this year’s contest has been reorganized.
The IATBP will now be holding a virtual conference Oct. 3. Everyone is invited to participate at no cost.
Bucky Motter, executive director of the IATBP, and Paulo Batista, a competitive bodybuilder and judge, joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes for a conversation about the event and the importance of promoting acceptance among everyone in the gym space.
