- Alex Gabriel // P.E. lessons ruined how I felt about myself
- "P.E. lessons made me feel that my body belonged to someone else." "I don’t believe [fitness] is really the motivation. If it were, why object, as Cameron does, to ‘Indian dance, or whatever’?" Obviously it's worse if you're out as gay, as Alex was, but this all sounds a bit familiar. PE certainly put me off exercise, and were it not for dancing restoring my confidence, I'd probably be in a much worse physical state.
