Carolina Panthers add 1st transgender woman to cheer squad



The Carolina Panthers have announced that they are adding Justine Simone Lindsay, a transgender woman, to their squad of biological women. According to Lindsay's Instagram post, he has made the Panthers' TopCats squad.

“Cats Out the Bag you are looking at the newest member of the Carolina Panthers TopCats Cheerleader’s @topcats as the first Transgender female,” he wrote on Instagram. “I would like to thank the beautiful and talented dancers who supported me along the way alumni TopCats family and friends for your love and support.”

The TopCats didn't announce that the 29-year-old was a biological man with gender dysphoria, but The Spin noted that the squad knew that Lindsay was transgender from the outset, [possibly from visual evidence in the squad's changing room].

“My goal is to create a team of individuals that are absolute fire on the field but are incredible human beings in the locker room, good friends, good people, and at the end of the day, you have to walk through the door first to get to that spot,” TopCats director Chandalae Lanouette told BuzzFeed News.

Lindsay is the NFL’s first transgender cheerleader that we know of, but he didn't reveal to his followers that he was trying out for the squad ahead of time, lest he not make the cut.

“I was so scared,” he told BuzzFeed. “There’s just some things you can’t post.”

“I’m happy because I was able to break down that door and tell people, hey, we are not just sexual beings,” Lindsay concluded. “We are actual human beings who want to better ourselves. I felt like why not tell the world — hey listen, this is a great accomplishment.”

The Panthers players are simply over the moon with the new addition to their cheerleading women.
