Amazing!  First time I've heard of her.  She rocks!

Wow!  That's a great story, especially for a North Carolina team. 

I like the name of the cheer squad too!  Top Cats.  Remember the Top Cat cartoons @Carolyn Marie?

First news article about cheerleaders that made me cry.

So great for her. and maybe for others too.  Hope it goes well.  

 

I wanna be cheerleader now njk

I hate to be a "Debbie Downer," but the publicity may negatively affect her, the cheer squad and the team.  Anything whatsoever having to do with trans people in the spotlight seems to bring out the extreme haters, especially on the right wing media shows and in social media.

 

I hope I'm wrong, but will be watching closely.

I saw something about her awhile back, but haven't heard anything negative yet.

I wonder about this too.  We've had a boycott of Bud Light that is still going on, so perhaps a boycott of the NFL is next?
