Hello Out readers.This week, on Intersex Awareness Day, professional women's soccer player Elizabeth Eddy wrote on her social media that she doesn't think trans or intersex women belong in women's sports. The next day, the post was published as an essay in the New York Post.Eddy, who plays for Angel City Football Club, Los Angeles' women's pro team, published the essay just weeks after her team welcomed Zambian player Prisca Chilufya, who has spoken about being intersex before."Womens sports showcase the full range of human ability as we reach and exceed whats physically possible. Everybody needs a chance to break records and achieve the previously impossible," Eddy writes. "Thats why we love to celebrate women competing against each other and why we need creative solutions to ensure everybody can compete on a level playing field.""In Eddy's eyes, 'women competing against each other' doesn't include all women. She's wrong," I wrote for Out.com this week. "The 'full range of human ability' that is showcased in women's sports includes all women not just those Eddy decides count. To celebrate women means celebrating women of all kinds, not just those who are feminine enough or have the 'right' genes.If the league wants to have the best women athletes in the world, that's going to include some intersex women and possibly, in the future, some trans women."I'm a season ticket holder for Angel City, and I know the games are a safe space for trans and intersex fans. Eddy's opinion won't change that. The team, the players, and the league will remain a place where trans and intersex fans and athletes are welcome, no matter what Eddy says.- Mey RudeWoman Crush WednesdayOur Woman Crush Wednesday is Out100 star Miss Keke Palmer!
