After becoming a member of the Carolina Panthers TopCats cheerleaders in March, Justine Lindsay had heard that there was nothing like the team's first home game of the season. That sentiment proved true.
"It was the best moment I could imagine," she recalled in an interview earlier this week of the Panthers' season opener on Sept. 11. "It felt like it was about 115 degrees and there were so many people in the stands. It was a beautiful Sunday."
Lindsay, 30, is the first openly transgender cheerleader in the NFL. Her arrival on the NFL was first announced in a personal Instagram post back in March and was followed in June by a host of media coverage. Now, more than halfway through the NFL season and in support of Transgender Awareness Week (Nov. 13-19), Lindsay is determined not only to be a role model for others but to enjoy every second of the process.
Lindsay said she's learned so much about herself during the last year, with the most important being to take the time to love herself.
"This is just the beginning," she said. "I appreciate everyone who has been supporting me from March to now. I love them and hope I can still inspire young transpersons to let them know they can do the same thing I'm doing, if not more. I just hope I can be an inspiration to someone out there."

You'd think it would, but we even have football threads here on FR. Some people will never give up the bread and circuses. Hard to believe how important a bunch of alleged men playing children's games can be to people who should know better.
The NFL is dead to me. An effing freak show.
She?
NO!
He has a problem, period.
Get help.
Oh, and get the eff off of the field.
Men are at work!
They stopped showing the kneeling but after 5+ years of not watchong I just could not get back into the game.
Disgusting pervert.
Wow.
I’m effectively speechless.
I had heard about the dancing boys but had forgotten. Just one of the ways the arabs get around the homosexual proscription. They have more dodges than a used car salesman.
The NFL has as much appeal to me as the WNBA.
Zilch.
Gross.
I think that Muslims are ok with young boys taking it, but think that effeminate men are a liability.
I think it also depends on the flavor of islam practiced. Iran is 90% shiite which seems to be the most fundamentalist variety. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates are Sunni. Not sure how much difference it makes but it seems to have a bearing on the matter.
An interesting clip about the Bacha boys in Afghanistan. Preferred ages are from 13 to early 20’s. In Arabic but closed captioned.
