“Sports possess an incredible power to bring the best out of each of us, and society at large. At its best, sport cultivates community, meaning, and joy. It pushes us to the brink, and it molds our strength, empathy, and compassion. Every child and human deserves to experience this magic, and to thrive in the sport they love. Rather than simply let sport reflect society, we have a chance here to harness sport to push society forward, to affirm human rights, and to categorically confirm that sport is for all. Trans (and all LGBTQ+) rights are human rights, and including LGBTQ+ individuals in sport is essential to upholding that reality.”
