🏳️‍⚧️ 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

On May 2, 2025, a united front of National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) supporters launched the #TransPeopleBelong campaign—a bold, grassroots movement affirming that trans and queer people are an ess...

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. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Chicago Local 134 @chicagolocal134.com · May 2

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. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

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

Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...

National Women’s Soccer League must adopt gender standards to keep growing

Recent controversies across women’s sports — from swimming to track and field — have highlighted professional soccer lacks clear eligibility policies, unlike a growing number of other competitions.…

Despite what anyone may write in the New York Post, trans people belong everywhere, including the NWSL.

#TransPeopleBelong

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.

Soccer unites us across cities, clubs, and cultures but safety and dignity are not yet guaranteed for every supporter.

We reaffirm our commitment to creating inclusive, welcoming environments for all fans, regardless of background or immigration status.
