I would strongly recommend to anyone in the #NWSL who is trying to learn from "subject matter experts," go listen to "Tested," by @reveleth.com (from @npr.org & CBC). It's a full education on the history of sex testing in women's sports & DSD athletes today

I am also unclear how long it’s going to take for someone with power to acknowledge trans and queer fans of the NWSL watching this all unfold and what that might mean for them, in addition to the protection of the players.

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

thinking again about the suggestion that if a GK calls trainers to come out (esp if it's around 20 minutes into a half lol), they should have to have a (non GK) player step off the field
