🏳️‍⚧️ TRANS PEOPLE BELONG 🏳️‍⚧️
We’re joining our NWSL supporter groups across the country to uplift a simple truth: inclusion makes this game stronger. Trans & queer people have always been part of women’s soccer - on the field, in the stands, & everywhere in between.

Trans People Belong”: NWSL Supporters Launch Powerful Campaign for Inclusion

We stand with the players.
We stand with the NWSLPA in its opposition to the High Impact Player (HIP) rule and urge the NWSL to negotiate with the Players Union as required by the collective bargaining agreement. The criteria for HIP status put forth by the league are arbitrary and unjust, largely leaving the earning potential of NWSL players in the hands of media members. Moreover, the HIP rule creates two tiers of players, will impact USWNT player development, and does not account for international player success. We condemn the NWSL's persistent attempts to interfere with fair pay, and we call on all fans to show the league that we stand with the players: * Block the NWSL on all social media platforms * Boycott of merchandise from the NWSL shop * Email your team and the league that you are opposed to the HIP rule and the league's refusal to bargain with the NWSL Players Association

ISC supports our NWSL members in their opposition to the High Impact Player (HIP) rule.
The HIP criteria are arbitrary & unjust, creating a two-tier system that undermines fair pay, player development, & international success-while placing players’ earning potential in the hands of media narratives.

The World Cup should uplift workers, athletes, fans, and host communities — not put them at risk. There is still time for FIFA to honor its commitments and deliver a tournament rooted in dignity, transparency, and #HumanRights.

What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say:

"USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.

In response to Elizabeth Eddy's essay in the New York Post, it's a good time to remind y'all that Chicago stands firmly in the belief that Trans People Belong. We will not stand for bigotry or transphobia. We love and support our trans family always. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

She knew what she was doing by writing for the Post. She knew her words would be used to target players like Banda, Kundananji, and Chawinga. She's a bigot who is calling for invasive testing to "solve a problem" that doesn't exist. Its racist transphobic bullshit and has no place in this league

As NWSL supporters associations representing thousands of fans across the country, we invite the NWSL and its fans to join us in taking a vocal and visible stand in support of the transgender community and against all gender-based harassment. Women’s soccer exists because society refused to accept exclusion. Our game was built through generations of struggle—for gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Efforts to exclude trans athletes are fueled by the same forces of misogyny and bigotry that have long tried to dictate who belongs. These efforts undermine the spirit of women’s sports and harm all athletes by reinforcing narrow, discriminatory ideas about gender. From the field to the stands, the LGBTQ+ community has always been a vital and visible part of the NWSL, and for many of us, women's sport is a safe haven—a place where we have found community and belonging while being our full selves. Come to an NWSL game, and you will see not just athleticism and competition, but joy and togetherness. Our league, where queer and trans kids can see themselves reflected on the field and in the stands, is proof that welcoming everyone makes us all safer. Now, as the trans community faces escalating attacks driven by harmful legislation and damaging public rhetoric, we must continue that fight by standing firmly and vocally, together, for inclusion in sports. It is on all of us to ensure that every match, every event, and every space under the league’s banner remains safe, inclusive, and free from hate—for everyone. Silence is not neutrality. Speaking out matters. Showing your support for trans athletes, and trans people, matters. Let’s work together to ensure women’s soccer continues to be a space of inclusion, safety, and joy for all.
