USWNT Star Megan Rapinoe Discusses Transgender Inclusion in Sports

U.S. women’s national team star Megan Rapinoe noted her support for transgender inclusion in sports in an interview with TIME released on Monday.

“I’m 100% supportive of trans inclusion,” Rapinoe told TIME.

“People don’t know very much about it. We’re missing almost everything. Frankly, I think what a lot of people know is versions of the right’s talking points because they’re very loud. They’re very consistent, and they’re relentless.“

Rapinoe’s interview with TIME comes on the heels of the world swimming’s governing body decision over the weekend, which barred transgender women from competing in women’s swimming events.
