NWSL Got It All Wrong (w/ Sara)

<p>On International Transgender Day of Visibility the NWSL released its&nbsp;<a href="https://prod-nwsl-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/wp/uploads/2021/03/2021-NWSL-Policy-on-Transgender-Athletes.pdf" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Policy on Transgender Athletes</a>. The policy was billed by the league as inclusive, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NWSL/status/1377345420947509249?s=20" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tweet announcing the policy</a>&nbsp;even mentioned how the league wanted to 'celebrate' trans and non-binary 'friends and fans' – except the policy itself fails to mention non-binary athletes at all (even though one out non-binary player already plays in the NWSL).<br> <br> Unfortunately, that was just the tip of a very large and unnecessarily terrible iceberg.<br> <br> To discuss that and all of the other ways the policy fails – and endangers – trans and non-binary athletes, Courtney and André are joined by Sara, a non-binary football fanatic and longtime NWSL supporter, to break it all down and demand better from the NWSL.<br> <br> Please listen to and share this episode.<br> <br> Links:<br> <a href="https://www.allforxi.com/2021/4/3/22360802/nwsl-transgender-player-policy-needs-work">NWSL's transgender player policy needs work</a> - Steph Yang<br> <a href="https://usaultimate.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/USA-Ultimate-Gender-Inclusion-Policy-Approved-11.18.2020.pdf">USA Ultimate Gender Inclusion Policy</a> - USA Ultimate<br> <a href="https://www.transathlete.com/take-action">Take Action - Support Trans Athletes</a> - TransAthlete.com<br> <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/the-coordinated-attack-on-trans-student-athletes/">The Coordinated Attack on Trans Student Athletes</a> - ACLU<br> <a href="https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/195">Trans Women and Trans Girls Belong in Women's Sports</a> - Burn It All Down<br> <a href="https://www.theblacksportswoman.com/cece-telfer/">CeCé Telfer, Andraya Yearwood &amp; how to support Black trans sportswomen</a> -
