It’s interesting to see how the responses today have been framed, whether it’s focusing on a player’s exceptional talent, or that if they were assigned female at birth.
No one in this league should be subject to transphobic hate because transphobia is based on hateful rhetoric and trash science.

The comments on the NWSL post on FB show why the post is not enough.
People are questioning why it was made, what it means, etc.
You have to be firm and direct about the hate and why it's unacceptable and you have to make policy to make sure it is penalized and players are protected.

All this tells me is there is not one trans or nonbinary person on the NWSLPA staff and none were consulted.
This essentially says “we stand for our members but also btw, they’re not even trans, they’re REAL women and have earned their spot here”
It’s gross. Do better.

Banda’s accolades, while impressive, are not relevant in the face of racist and transphobic attacks. If the league cannot be specific in naming what those "hateful attacks" are, this statement just noise.

Despite what anyone may write in the New York Post, trans people belong everywhere, including the NWSL.
Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.
In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.
Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.
No exceptions.

It's now been a week since @nwslsoccer.com @nwsl-pr.bsky.social's official Shop sent me someone elses order, marking my own order as delivered. Nothing other than a canned response from their support that they were busy with fulfillment. Someone else on reddit had been waiting a week longer.

Ezra, he died while defending his false claim that trans people are more likely to commit mass shootings. He called Leviticus 20:13--a verse saying gay men should be stoned to death--"God's perfect law."
I agree political violence is unacceptable, but what you're saying here is just not true.

But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.
The irony/idiocy of this banner currently draped on the Department of Labor building is not lost on me, given all the federal workers he's forced out of their jobs.

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.
