Ukuba awulazi igama lakhe, uyakumazi ukuba uphambene umgangatho kwaye ungenasiphako "unamathele" kumhlaba oye wangena kwintsholongwane kulandela ukuzivocavoca kudibana ne-Oklahoma emva kukaJanuwari. Ngoku, u-Ohashi usebenzisa iqonga lakhe ukulincamathela kuye wonke umntu owenza i-body-shamer owakhe wagweba kunye/okanye iigymnasts zabasetyhini abachasayo.

U-Ohashi wawongwa kwii-ESPYs zowama-2019 ngolwe-Lwesithathu, efumene ibhaso “lolona mzuzu weMidlalo yeNtsholongwane kaGawulayo,” kunye nokutyunjwa kowona “Mdlalo uGqwesileyo,” kodwa ngelixa u-Ohashi sele esaziwa ngolonwabo lwakhe olusulelayo kunye neendlela zokudlala, kwaba njalo. intetho yakhe enzulu yolwamkelo-enikezelwe njengombongo-eye yafumana ingqalelo ngeli xesha. Ngelixa wayekwinqanaba, wachukumisa ukuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo kunye nokuhlazisa umzimba ngokufaka i-gymnastics yabasetyhini ngoku, kubandakanya ezinye zezimvo ezenzakalisayo azifumeneyo.

"Ndiqale ukuzibona ezindabeni ndizama ukonwaba kancinane kwimidlalo yam emva kwako konke ukuphathwa gadalala nokusetyenziswa gwenxa kwabantu abasemagunyeni aphezulu," utshilo u-Ohashi, enqwala intloko kulowo wayesakuba ngugqirha kwezemidlalo e-Olimpiki e-USA, u-Larry Nassar. unetyala lezityholo zokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo kwinqanaba laseMelika.

"Ayimangalisi into yokuba kutheni amazwi ethu ebethule cwaka njengoko ezabo beziza kukhula nje," uqhubeke watsho. "Kodwa namhlanje, eyam ayisaboyiki."

U-Ohashi uqhubekile wabulela abazali bakhe kunye nabaqeqeshi ngenkxaso yabo kwaye wavakalisa umbulelo kwi-intanethi ngokwenza ukuba ii-ESPY zakhe ziphumelele. Uthethe nabaxhaphazi be-cyber kwaye wabonisa ukungabikho kwentlonipho egqithisileyo kwimizimba yabasetyhini kwi-intanethi nakwi-mat.

"Njengowasetyhini kwezemidlalo, abantu basetyhini bagqabaza izinto ezinje 'kufanele ukuba usekhitshini," nditsho kabuhlungu. Ileon skimpy yenza ukuba kube lula ukubona, kwaye abantu bayithathe njengomsebenzi wabo ukundigweba, "utshilo u-Ohashi, esithi Ufumene izimvo malunga neyunifomu yakhe "ityhila kakhulu," ukuba umzimba wakhe "utyebile" kwaye "ungqindilili." “Imizimba yethu iyandigulisa,” uqhube watsho.

Kodwa ngokuhamba kwexesha, uthi wafunda ukuba ukuba ngumthambo womzimba kuyinxalenye yesazisi sakhe, hayi ukuphelela kwayo, uxelele isiza.

U-Ohashi kungenzeka ukuba ufike kwinqanaba le-ESPY kuba ungumntu owenza umthambo omangalisayo, kodwa ukwenze kwacaca ukuba ungaphezulu kwevidiyo yentsholongwane. Ungummeli wenkululeko yomzimba, ukuxhotyiswa kwabasetyhini, kunye nabasetyhini abaxhasa abantu basetyhini-kwaye akufuneki sibe sonke?

Uyiqukumbele intetho yakhe ngokugqibezela, enemvano-sip ezantsi: "Ndiyabulela ukuhlala kwilizwe apho abantu basetyhini banokukhuphisana khona, ke, ndithembe, amazwi akho akasoze abe sisizathu sokoyiswa kwethu."
