This moment must be a turning point.

Read our full statement below.

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.

🏳️‍⚧️ 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. 💚🖤

Abuse has no place in the NWSL

Let it simmer. I think there is still hope.

👏👏👏
Nailed It.
Now, give us a crest.

Isn’t there still a whole brand on the way? Crest and all that?

Seems straight forward. Look up the various rankings for the states that are list- and the election results by country for each state.

It’s not the taxes.

We need to do better on our healthcare. 2nd is just the first loser, let’s fix this MA!

i don't know that i would but at least it would have a story that made sense!

Yayyyy

And yet- some of our absolute best aren’t even in camp.

I would 💯 do this if not for my 9-5.
