This study explores ways trans and gender-nonconforming athletes navigate a sense of relational (un)belonging in sport contexts. Our research reveals dialectic movements between  feelings  of inclusion/exclusion juxtaposed with the  structural being  of inclusion/exclusion. More specifically, the  feeling  of inclusion/exclusion gestures to individual sensed experiences of (un)belonging, while the  being  of inclusion/exclusion anchors a participant’s individual affective experience navigating binarism vis-à-vis administrative constraints. Taken together, two dialectics— feeling included ↔ being excluded  and its dialectic reversal  feeling excluded ↔ being included— communicatively constitute what we theorize as “trans relational ambivalences,” which mediate a sense of relational (un)belonging in sport contexts. Our findings implicate settler modes of relating across gender difference, revealing a problem of modernity. Specifically, we reveal a problem in which settler coloniality’s ontological foreclosure on multiplicities produce the communicative effect of individuation. In this regard, our analysis holds inclusion in dialectic tension with exclusion such that the affective experience of one cannot be understood without the structural enactment of the other.
