The Attacks on Trans and Cis Women of Color in Athletics
The purpose of this website is to further educate people on current and past issues revolving around trans and cis women of color in sports and uplift trans women's voices, especially trans women of color who disproportionately face higher rates of discrimination and violence than white cis women. We want to bring light to how bans on trans women in sports directly negatively impact all women, and are being seen most commonly towards cis women of color who are accused of being trans and cheating. Check out a quick description of each of our tabs below, and look through the tabs in the left-hand corner of the site.
