¿¿¿???

Coming out as transgender can be scary, you never know how someone is going to react, accept you, etc… coming out to my teammates was something that I was never afraid to do.

I am so fortunate to play a sport that empowers its players the way that hockey does. It empowered me to be my authentic self, I have both hockey and my teammates to thank for that. You all are my second family.

I honestly don’t know where I would be without my hockey family. So thank you to all of my past and current teammates for always being there for me, always accepting me, asking questions, or doing something as simple as using the right pronouns/name for me.

I’m fine with reminding people but when they don’t even try–

It’s really frustrating.
