It's really hard to tell if a player is a girl or boy, trans or cis. #letkidsplay #transgirlsaregirls

It comes down to the thought that boys are better at sports than girls. There's nothing that makes boys automatically better at sports than girls. Boys excel because they are often given opportunities, accolades, support, accommodations etc that give them an advantage.

There's no reason for this. #makesportsequitable #terfsarescum

The activists lined up outside the building, holding signs that say things like “Let Trans Kids Live” and “#letkidsplay.” Their aim is to convince Governor Chris Sununu (R) to veto four bills that threaten transgender youth.

Protesters enter New Hampshire capitol & demand governor protect trans kids - LGBTQ Nation

The protesters oppose four anti-trans bills, demanding that the governor veto them.

@mdruker “they are just kids having fun playing, just let them be” #gunviolence #letkidsplay

As the House considers a trans and intersex sports ban today, I'm proud to stand with leading gender justice and women’s sports orgs in support of inclusion in sports.

Let’s be honest, this isn't about “protecting” women and girls: it's about attacking LGBTQI+ kids. #LetKidsPlay

Let Kids Play: Tell Congress Not to Ban Transgender Students from School Sports - GLAD

Transgender and intersex students, like all students, deserve the opportunity to play the game they love with their peers.

GLAD

For the fucking life of me I cannot understand why these aren't the only two requirements for a kid who wants to play a sport:

__1. Is a kid
__2. Wants to play the sport

#LetKidsPlay

#Legislation that would ban #transgender girls from #SchoolSports nationwide could get a vote in the #USHouse. It is the very first bill out of #Congress attacking #TransgenderYouth at the federal level, and we must take action. Tell your Representative to vote "no" on all #antitransgender bills.

Tell Congress: Protect Our Kids’ Freedom

The fight for trans rights is now federal. Congress has introduced the very first bill attacking transgender youth. Some Representatives are trying to ban trans kids from sports – and more bills pushing trans people out of public life are on the way. Members of Congress are fighting back – and they need to hear from you. Tell your Representative to vote “NO” on all bills that attack transgender Americans. Some members of Congress are trying to ban youth from school sports just because they’re transgender. But it’s not just about sports - this is the first of many attacks on the freedom of transgender people to be who they are. Politicians are pushing another bill taking away the right of young people and their families to get the healthcare they need. We must tell Congress that our government should not interfere with the care we receive, the curriculum our schools teach, or the freedom to be ourselves. When kids have the freedom to play, they build stronger bonds with their friends, their schools, and their communities. Title IX requires schools to adopt inclusive policies to provide these opportunities for all students regardless of gender – including transgender students. Send a message to your member of Congress now and call on them to protect trans rights by opposing H.R. 734.

while we wait for the game to kick-off I think everyone should take some time to watch @mPinoe's speech at the @TIME Women of the Year Gala.

Pushing trans & intersex women & girls to the sidelines doesn't "protect women's sports" — ending abuse, increasing access to resources & closing the pay gap does. Call your Congressional rep today & tell them to #LetKidsPlay!
