'Cats out [of] the bag, you are looking at the newest member of the Carolina Panthers Topcats Cheerleader's as the first transgender female,' she wrote.

'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. I would not have gotten to this moment in my life if it wasn’t for the support.'

Pathetic but that is where we are today.

I’ll can’t really accept someone as an equal when they advertise how different they are. You want to be a girl or a guy or sleep with girls or guys? Fine, that’s none of my business and as long as your nice, I’ll be nice back. You want to run around telling me how different you are? Fine, I see you as different.

There’s a guy I work with from time to time who is gay and a crossdresser. He’s a genuinely nice guy who is really good at his job. He’s a pleasure to work with and to grab some drinks with after. I call him a friend. But he doesn’t think his sexuality makes him special. He doesn’t hide his sexuality but doesn’t advertise it either. Just like I never once walked into a job and told everyone I am straight, he doesn’t feel the need to announce that he’s gay. If conversation drifts towards relationships or partners he doesn’t hesitate to mention his boyfriend, but his sexuality only comes up if it’s important to the conversation at hand.

I predict lots of camera time for, ah her. Do I really need another reason to ignore the NFL?

Please do not post pics.

Chop off all you want sweetheart, you’re still male. Just another reason not to watch the NFL, this along with the Raiders wanting Kapernik on their team; rather watch ice melt.

Pale Horse, that is spot on. Individually, I have met many people that would be "newsworthy" (Look at me I am so different!) but they are not attention seeking. They are people who happen to be different than me and don't ask anything of me but common courtesy. They want to live and be left alone much as I do.

The attention seekers often pushed on us by the media are the issue.

There never was a cat in the bag to let out.

Another attempt to normalize profound mental illness. Just another step closer to Armageddon. Will it be a comet?

Well…”it” checks all the Libtard boxes.

This right here…

I was born in the wrong century.

So a man just took away another woman's job.

Who mandated that cheerleaders have to be "female?" AT U. of Mich. when I went to school there (granted, a long time ago) all the foorball cheerleaders were male. It was, in fact, a point of feminist controversy that women were not considered for the squad. Just another thing that has changed.

Just stop supporting pro sports. I saw where LeBron James is now the first billionaire athlete.
For playing basketball.

NFL. The National Freaks League.
Ugh.

It's Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds.


So, being a 'male cheerleader' didn't work, didn't want to do lifts and flips..nope. Wants the boots, pom-poms and skirts instead.

A grown ass man should have better things to do than to watch other men play a fucking game anyway.

Reminded me of the convict cheerleaders from the '74 version of The Longest Yard.
