My goal today was dedicated to all my trans siblings, who’ve had an incredibly tough & heartbreaking week. You have all been on my mind and in my heart, you deserve so much more than what this government & society is giving you. I’m so incredibly proud of the trans existence within the queer community, and I’m proud of all trans women - you are women no matter what anyone says

Just one of the many reasons football will have a massive fight on its hands if it tries to ban trans women. Here's Man City's Kerstin Casparij, dedicating her goal today to trans people
