Queer people creating good news for queer kids. This is what community care looks like:

«Portland Community Football Club founder Kaig Lightner, a 44-year-old trans man, organizes youth soccer teams based on skill level, instead of sex or gender. 
[…]
PCFC welcomes players ages six to 18, so long as they promise to accept their fellow teammates.
The organization is also dedicated to making sports more financially accessible to all young people, moving away from a “pay-to-play” model and instead getting support from partner organizations at the local and national level.
[…]
The club also offers “wrap-around” services, including a food pantry, language translation services, and rides to practice.»

Youth soccer club forms teams based on skill level – not sex or gender: 'The kids let go of the binary'

Discriminatory laws have led to lower sports participation among young trans athletes. So this independent club is giving them a space to play.
