Happy Pride Month 🌈
This month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community across U.S. Soccer and throughout the ecosystem of the game. We believe soccer is stronger when everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to show up fully as themselves. Here’s to a month of celebration, connection, and belonging.
After suffering a devastating spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the chest down, Jaiden Picot walked across the Virginia Union University stage using a robotic exoskeleton to earn his Executive MBA. POWERFUL resilience in the face of adversity! Now he’s determined to help Brothers and Sisters with disabilities find accessible housing and opportunity. 👏🏿

People who undergo HRT don’t have a significant physical advantage over their cis counterparts.
But I think your response points out exactly what I was getting at. There are very few if any transgender athletes playing soccer. Trans athletes are not allowed to play in the Olympics and they are not allowed to play in the NCAA. So the anti-trans rhetoric like the above video just goes to hurt cis women who are “transvestigated” and harassed. Usually those women are women of color.
There is no trans problem to solve.
Men aren’t putting on wigs and jumping into professional leagues and stealing anyone’s spot. If we want to “Save women’s sports” we should focus on issues that women deal with on a day to day, not hypothetical ones that score points in a culture war.
Today and every day, we stand up for Trans rights.
We are unwavering in our commitment to supporting and caring for our Trans community and are proud to cultivate a safe environment for all 🏳️⚧️🤍

Today is Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️⚧️
This a place to Belong. A place where our community comes together with different backgrounds, different perspectives, united by a shared love of the game and respect for one another.
This is the Place to Be. The Place to Belong.
@ToppsGallery@denversummitfc Please name every other sport that has professional trans female athletes participating, I would love to support them! As for high school, not sure why your disdain towards children would affect your support for the Denver Summit, but that’s not my problem to solve.
