The members of Team Trans, believed to be the first entirely trans sports team in the US, recently reunited to play their second hockey tournament.

, Team Trans began to draw the interest of other trans and nonbinary hockey players from around the world. And while the Covid-19 pandemic foiled earlier plans for a reunion, players and organizers alike were keen to bring the event to the Madison area, where there is already an abundance of LGBTQ hockey players. In a spirited two-day tournament, Team Trans, which was split into three teams based on skill level, went undefeated in six games against the Madison team.

For LeFebvre and Cordingley, who both played girls’ hockey growing up before beginning their transition and now compete as teammates on Team Trans, there was always an inherent need to consistently prove themselves in a male-dominated sport. “Because you don’t know why you’re hurt, you don’t know why it hurts that you’re not allowed in there,” they explained. “For me, it’s like you get off the ice, and your teammates go one way, and you’re just alone in a room by yourself the other way. It’s alienating, it’s othering, it makes you feel like you don’t belong there, even if you love the sport and just want to play.

Racist NBC This is your fault! Black man proactively seeking out white people to run over with his car. Why would you defend him? Tell us what a monster he is. This is in relation to the Rittenhouse verdict! say Wisconsin BLACK man. People stop believing NBC's agreed upon lie!

So a bunch of men got together to beat up on women?

The San Francisco non-Binaries has a cute ring to it or maybe the Portland Pronouns would be dope !🔥🔥

I hope Heather Swanson tries out!

I would pay to see that fight
