Letters from the Front: "In Support of Women's and Girls' Sports" |
|
|
|
"Where I lived, there were no sports teams for girls. Instead, I was taken to the park three times a week to watch my older brother play baseball. From that, I learned that boys do and girls watch; that male bodies run, jump, and move actively through the world, while female bodies sit on the bleachers." - P.S. Letters From the Front empowers you to use your voice and break through the silence. Thank you, P.S.! Add your story to this collection of powerful stories from lesbians, mothers, athletes, survivors, and detransitioners to help the public understand what's at stake. |

WoLF member and volunteer Lindsey discusses Falco's book detailing "the astonishing science of the female body." Read her review in WoLF Tracks, our Members' Blog. Thank you, Lindsey! |
