Yesterday, our President testified on something we wholeheartedly believe: When you exclude trans women and girls, you hurt all women. For over 50 years, we've endured misogynistic attacks on our work—bigots and bullies aren't going to silence us now.

.@TeamUSA & @TransAthlete’s @TheChrisMosier speaks on inclusion: “there’s a need for education on LGBTQ+ inclusion for the love of the game, that’s missing. My identity is not political but has been politicised in the media - the topic is nuanced and exclusion is taking place”

Check out @katie_barnes3's new book “Fair Play: How Sports Shape the Gender Debates"! "I really wanted folks to not be able to look away from the humanity of queer and trans people while they grappled with questions that they think are important." 👏 nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…

Sports are about inclusion & bringing us all together no matter our differences. We need more, not less, kindness & compassion on & off the field during Pride Month & year-round.

TransAthlete is proud to join other organizations in applauding the @Dodgers decision to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for their decades of community service at the 2023 Pride Night tonight at Dodger Stadium. glaad.org/statement-of-s…

.@RepPressley: “I rise today in solidarity with our children across the nation. I want to speak plainly to our trans kids: You belong. You are enough. You deserve to show up fully in this world. You deserve joy and every single opportunity. You are perfect just as you are.” ❤️

HR 734 is a FEDERAL BAN on trans, nonbinary & intersex people from athletics programs in schools. Transathlete.com joined with @civilrightsorg & other partners to OPPOSE this bill & call for the full inclusion of all kids. #LetKidsPlay bit.ly/40hwIiB

We’re proud to join 200+ civil rights groups in support of H.Res. 219, the Bill of Rights for Students & Parents. We, along with the majority of parents, believe students deserve an inclusive education that respects the dignity & worth of every child. bit.ly/3LLUvng

World Athletics’ decision to ban all transgender women & place harsh restrictions on athletes with intersex variations does not protect the integrity of women’s sports & only furthers the policing of women’s bodies. A 🧵

"I can assure you that playing with or against transgender women & girls is not a threat to women’s sports." - @beckysauerbrunn Olympic gold medalist & two-time FIFA World Cup champion. news-leader.com/story/opinion/… via @springfieldNL

It's wonderful to see Olympians like @beckysauerbrunn speak out in support of trans girls and women. The truth is - just like Becky says - trans kids just want to play with their friends. We must protect sports for all - not discriminate against kids. news-leader.com/story/opinion/…

Kids don't medically transition before puberty. When sports orgs say trans athletes can only participate if they transition "before age 12 or Tanner stage 2 of puberty," they are setting up a nearly impossible situation.

🏳️‍⚧️VICTORY!🏳️‍⚧️ Today the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a student athletic policy in CT allowing transgender students to play on the teams consistent with their gender identity. Trans youth have a right to equal and fair play. acluct.org/en/press-relea…

Anti-trans sports ban fails in Ohio legislature abcn.ws/3FviBxB

TODAY: Lawmakers: STOP bullying transgender youth athletes. · Community: Make a quick call now: #OhioCanPlay secure.everyaction.com/M8Yo9Vl2aEOw54…

Today, in a 10-7 vote, the Ohio Board of Education voted to pass the Anti-Transgender resolution to oppose the proposed changes to Title IX passed by the federal government in June of this year. We are deeply disappointed in this result.

Today was a very good day.

"To the LGBTQ+ community in Pennsylvania & especially to our transgender & nonbinary youth & young people: I see you, I support you, I respect you & I stand with you." - Gov. Tom Wolf, who vetoed legislation seeking to bar trans athletes from sports metroweekly.com/2022/07/pennsy…

This week, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) made a new policy for transgender athletes, set to go into effect on July 1. The policy changes the low T time from 12 to 24 months & the T levels to 2.5 nmol/L (instead of the already low 5 nmol/L). bicycling.com/news/a40320907…
