Transgender Rights and Corporate Accountability: Brent’s Fight for Justice | Legal Resources Radio 🎙️
In this episode of Legal Resources Radio, we bring you the powerful story of Brent Janse van Vuuren—a transgender man who was excluded from the 2025 CrossFit Open, not because of his performance, but because of who he is.
After participating in the 2024 Open with no issue, Brent was suddenly barred from competing as a recreational athlete. CrossFit, a global fitness brand, had quietly changed its policy to exclude all trans athletes from participation.
This episode explores what it means when multinational companies bring discriminatory rules into countries like South Africa, where equality, dignity, and the right to identity are protected by our Constitution.
We speak to Brent about his journey, his passion for CrossFit, and how it feels to be told he doesn’t belong—simply for being himself. We also unpack the broader legal and human rights implications of policies like these and how we can hold corporations accountable.
🎧 Tune in, learn, and stand with us in the fight for justice.
