Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird Speak Out on Legislative Action Against Trans Youth

With a rise in anti-transgender legislation across the United States, Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are fighting back.

"We are learning over and over that there is no neutral in this world. We can't sit quietly and let legislative action attack trans youth and strip away human rights," Rapinoe told Bleacher Report.

"What's happening is deeply inhumane," Bird added. "Fighting this takes collective work, and we all have to join the fight."

Rapinoe and Bird, who got engaged in 2020, have been outspoken on social issues throughout their athletic careers. They are now looking to bring awareness and end homophobic violence and bullying with their new "Love Is" campaign in collaboration with Uninterrupted.
