When you think about Transgender acceptance, you don't normally think about either Football or North Carolina. Thankfully, that is changing as Justine Lindsay has just become the first NFL cheerleader who is openly transgender. Lindsay said that the coach of the Carolina Panthers TopCats cheerleading team, Chandalae Lanouette, knew about her gender identity, but chose her for the team based on her talent. In an Instagram post she wrote, "The carolina panthers Organization is an excellent one, one that supports all people white, black , yellow trans, straight etc. at the end of the day myself and the other 29 members @topcats made the squad fair and square. so what if I’m trans, so what I’m paving the way for those under me who are scared and afraid to take that step because it is not easy to do when you have ignorant people making comments that didn’t go through the process like the rest of us. I will continue to be that pioneer I will continue to inspire and help my African American beautiful trans sisters until my last breath. So please mind your manners and understand that if you can’t say anything nice please keep it to yourself."
