This is the culmination of passion & late night conversations. This is what & I have always wanted to build. To tell stories that have been experienced but not yet told, and an opportunity to amplify voices who need to be heard. This is just the beginning.

Today, politicians in DC are claiming to “protect women's sports” by pushing a trans & intersex sports ban. Call your Congressional rep today to say women's sports need protection from unequal pay, sexual abuse & lack of resources, NOT from trans kids. #LetKidsPlay 📞202-224-3121

#USWNT Alex Morgan - with Becky Sauerbrunn’s op-ed on trans rights, the team wearing wristbands last year that said Protect Trans Rights, how much is it on the team’s mind having the team be playing matches in Florida and Texas this year q:@itsmeglinehan
I think that our team has incredible advocates, and I did read what Becky said, and she is a true leader, not only, within our team, but standing up for trans kids and being an ally and advocate for a lot of groups who are targeted. Playing in Florida and Texas, that's something that the team definitely needs to look at. I think just even talking about it is good.

And the inclusion of trans kids in sports is the inclusion of kids in sports. Everyone should have the ability to play sport. The fact that it's being taken into politics is really sad. And I think it's at the cost of trans kids's life. So, it's really sad and I feel like what Becky said  was great.

And for this team, we've always been very vocal with where we stand, and I think we'll continue to do that. But looking at these games in Florida and Texas respectively, we're gonna need to continue to step it up and have internal discussions as well with the team because we're not ones to shy away from hard conversation or taki

Mic drop 🎤👏 went on to say, "The bills don’t consider any of the actual challenges to women and girls in sport [...] They’re pushing kids away from the life-changing power of sports, forever depriving them of the invaluable lessons sport teaches"⁣

The following states are closing to banning - and in some cases criminalizing and deeming child abuse - medical care for trans adolescents: MS, TN, SD, ND, WY, ID, WV, OK, MO, MT, ID. The following states have: AR, AL, UT, TX. Where's the outrage? Where's the media coverage?

I’ll tell MY social team that YOUR social team said thank you.

Grateful that this day is finally upon us...there are not enough words permitted on Twitter to explain "the why" but it doesn't much matter -- fact is, it took too long. Thank you for your passion and for holding us accountable. We will do better. And, our social team = the best! twitter.com/NWSL/status/16…

This should be an absolutely massive story in women’s football.

This story is bigger than me! It’s a wake up call for all clubs and it’s a message to all players that if they get pregnant or want to get pregnant during their career they have their rights and guarantees! @PlayersTribune @FIFPRO theplayerstribune.com/posts/sara-bjo

This is utterly disgraceful from The culture at OL in France has a LONG way to go. Y’all love to talk about how much you support women, but this math is not mathing. I implore you to be the club that is ALWAYS supporting women, not the club that once did.

I’m proud to support U.S. Senator Patty Murray. Patty has led the fight to protect reproductive rights her entire career. She is on the front lines every single day in the Senate – and with Election Day around the corner, she needs all of our help. Get out & vote!

Set in Brooklyn, @XochitltheG’s debut novel, Olga Dies Dreaming weaves a breathtaking story of how we are tied to our past, our family, our country, and ultimately to each other. Read it this month with @mPinoe. ow.ly/Eog750KJcCH
