      Megan Rapinoe: two FIFA world cup titles, an Olympic gold medal, the Ballon d’Or Féminin

      Sophie: Cunningham

      As a trans woman who wishes I could’ve played the sport even locally post transition, I love this.

      Ugh, I love her so much and respect her for how outspoken she is and always has been.

      I have so much respect for her and how consistently outspoken (and correct!) she always is!

      I love that she said this on the View. I’ve noticed a lot of family members who watch TV are really susceptible to any anti-trans talking points because they don’t hear simple, passionate explanations like this.

      I hope we can also hear more full throated defenses of trans people because we love them and value them, and not just because of the slippery slope that also affects cis women and girls.

      This is also why I was hesitant to find a problem when resident domestic abuser Hope Solo said Megan ‘bullied’ the USWNT into kneeling during the national anthem (OH, THE HORROR, HOPE🙄)

      Megan’s always stood on business

      yeah, crazy that trans women “are ruining sports” yet this ~~not my president~~ over reached on his power to alter FIFA.

      This is a good counter to what people may have seen in the comments of WNBA subs where Redditors are claiming they’re pro trans rights but also agree with Sophie Cunningham and oh also they’re liberals who think Trump won because it’s 80-20 issue that liberals don’t understand normal people just don’t want their young girls getting injured by these beefy biological men who happen to play their sport…

      Wake the fuck up. Rapinoe is correct. Trans people are the Trojan horse of the right wing to claw back all women’s rights. People think they’re being some wise and moderate, voice of the people type shit by just asking questions abt trans girls in sports.. no you’re being useful idiots who are buying the distraction straight into women losing their fundamental rights. The anti trans people are using “average” Americans bigoted distaste for vulnerable trans people to break the foundations of basic human rights.

      Again wake the hell up.

      She’s 10,000% on point.

      It’s never been about “protecting women”, it’s about cruelty.
