Quinn, a biological female who identifies as transgender with they/them pronouns, featured in both of Canada's two matches thus far at the FIFA Women's World Cup, according to a report.Quinn played the full 90 minutes against Nigeria last week and then against Ireland on Wednesday.The 27-year-old came out as transgender in a 2020 Instagram post.
"Coming out is HARD . I know for me it's something I’ll be doing over again for the rest of my life. As I've lived as an openly trans person with the people I love most for many years, I did always wonder when I’d come out publicly," the post read."Instagram is a weird space. I wanted to encapsulate the feelings I had towards my trans identity in one post but that’s really not why anyone is on here, including myself.
Prior to appearing in a World Cup match, Quinn opened up about the experience of competing as a transgender athlete. "Being a transgender athlete, it was difficult to see my place in sports and see that I belong," Quinn said."And the same goes for cisgender girls who are navigating their experience; we have a male-dominated sports culture in North America and they deserve to see they have a place in this sport."The Canadian national team has been very supportive and provided an outlet for expression, according to Quinn.
