I admire that, or maybe wish I was more like that.”
She additionally spoke about why she’s been extra open about her relationship, even entering into some sexual particulars, on a recent podcast. “I never thought of it as like, ‘Do I feel this pressure to, like, be respectable?’ But now that you’re saying it—100 percent. Of course we have sex—we’re engaged. … But I guess there is this fear that has always existed around gay sex … that it’s inappropriate for kids [to hear about], so normalizing that is super important. But more than anything, for myself, it’s just about being authentic in that way.”
Of course the primary level of the article is the elevated visibility round ladies’s sports activities, Bird’s advocacy on that particular beat and her new documentary, Sue Bird: In the Clutch, which offers a extra intimate view of the athlete, who has traditionally been comparatively non-public.
