There is currently a petition going around by a small and vocal minority of people who are trying to get WHAM (Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota) to ban 'biological males' from joining WHAM and thus playing in the state's largest women's hockey league.

The local women-oriented sports bar, A Bar of Their Own, have been staunch supporters of trans and nonbinary people and their place in sports. They have started a counter petition to reject this and remind Minnesota Hockey, the governing body of WHAM, that hockey is for everyone.

I am calling on Minnesota Frost fans in particular to take action, as we know WHAM has been a natural feature at games. As a refuge state with a huge queer population, that has had protections for trans people since the 70s, we know this isn't the will of our community. I'd doubly encourage you to send respectful comments to Minnesota Hockey as well. I am, and will be pointing out the reduction of attendance at Frost games since they have drafted a known transphobe.
