Two years after 16 hockey players joined forces in Boston to become the first entirely transgender sports team in the United States, Team Trans — a growing group of novice to advanced players — reunited this past weekend at Capitol Ice Arena in Middleton, Wisconsin, to take on the Madison Gay Hockey Association in a weekend friendship series.
When the inaugural Team Trans first stepped off the ice and into the locker room two years ago, the players said they could tell that something was different. While many of them had played in LGBTQ leagues, they were often the only trans player on their team and struggled to find a community of trans athletes to talk to. But for one weekend, these players were all able to bond over a shared love for the sport and a mutual understanding of their personal struggles with gender identity.
“I keep meeting people that I’ve barely spoken to or haven’t spoken to directly, and I feel like I already know them in a way, just because of the shared experiences that we’ve had in hockey spaces,” Mason LeFebvre, a Team Trans goaltender and out trans man, told NBC News. “It’s just casual and comfortable from the start. We’re not going to ask each other a bunch of awkward questions that other people might ask if they know we’re trans. Then, we talk about other things that would be completely off the table for conversations with mostly cis[gender] people.”

Which ones get to wear a cup - that’s what I want to know...
The Hokey team............
It’s like bad, tasteless joke —
“I hear you’ve got a sports team. I’d like to try out.”
“Well, I might be able to add you to roster.”
“I’m pretty good.”
“Never mind that. Tell about your sex life.”
That’s what I call icing the puck!
I don’t believe there is much difference between male and female hockey equipment.
Now if any group of individuals needed to be run over....
Gag me with a spoon.
SICK!! VILE!! IMMORAL!!
NO SHITE, SHERLOCK!
Is this a real situation or a clever satire?
Actually, I think such a team would be a good thing.
That way they would not feel forced to infiltrate and compromise regular sports competitions.
Will there be penalties for high-sticking?
From another odd tryout conversation:
Pass it??? I don’t think I can even swallow it!
Wait - they don’t allow heteros on the team? Where are the lawyers?
Then, we talk about other things that would be completely off the table for conversations with mostly cis[gender] people.”
= = =
But a cis would be persecuted for discussing such subject matter.
When I saw this I thought “it has to be Babylon Bee,” but it isn’t. Sigh....
do they have to play trans-opposite whatever the hell they are?
Don’t drop your puck.......
Of course Comcrap-NBC Universal would report on this. They are the epitome of science deniers.
