Trans People Belong In View Harrison Browne

For Trans Day of Visibility we’re highlighting the accomplishments of famous athletes. Their accomplishments on and off the field of play deserve to be celebrated. They are competitors, they are our teammates, and they are strong. We hope that these visible athletes remind us that sports and athleticism are important to the whole trans community. Their fight, grit, and determination enrich us all. Today we say Trans Athletes Belong.

Cloud 9 is sharing the story of Harrison Browne, the first publicly out transgender athlete in professional hockey. While Harrison came out as a transgender man to teammates in college, he did so publicly in 2016 as a professional player for the Buffalo Beauts of the NWHL. He won the Isobel Cup with the Beauts in the 2016-17 season, and again with the Metropolitan Riveters in 2017-18. Harrison also helped form the first ever transgender policy in professional sports.

Following his retirement from pro hockey in 2018, he has become an author, actor, and filmmaker. In 2025, Harrison and sister Rachel published a non-fiction book about transgender inclusion in sports called Let Us Play. He developed and produced the short film Pink Light. Most recently, Harrison appeared in a guest role in the series Heated Rivalry. We’re proud of Harrison’s accomplishments on and off the ice, today and every day!

A post stating: “The Undertow stands against the recent actions and decisions made by the state of Kansas and these targeted attacks on the rights of transgender individuals. We will continue to advocate for the rights of trans people and speak up against this blatant and discriminatory legislation. Ad astra per aspera. #TransPeopleBelong”

A statement from Undertow:

A graphic reading: “We stand with the NWSLPA in its opposition to the High Impact Player (HIP) rule and urge the NWSL to negotiate with the Players Union as required by the collective bargaining agreement.  The criteria for HIP status put forth by the league are arbitrary and unjust, largely leaving the earning potential of NWSL players in the hands of media members. Moreover, the HIP rule creates two tiers of players, will impact USWNT player development, and does not account for international player success.  We condemn the NWSL’s persistent attempts to interfere with fair pay, and we call on all fans to show the league that we stand with the players:  • Block the NWSL on all social media platforms • Boycott of merchandise from the NWSL shop • Email your team and the league that you are opposed to the HIP rule and the league’s refusal to bargain with the NWSLPA”

We, along with our fellow independent supporters groups, stand with the players.

Text over color trans flag colors reading: “As NWSL supports associations representing thousands of fans across the country, we invite the NWSL and its fans to join us in taking a vocal and visible stand in support of the transgender community and against all gender-based harassment. Women’s soccer exists because society refused to accept exclusion. Our game was built through generations of struggle - for gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Efforts to exclude trans athletes are fueled by the same forces of misogyny and bigotry that have long tried to dictate who belongs. These efforts undermine the spirit of women’s sports and harm all athletes by reinforcing narrow, discriminatory ideas about gender.”

Text over color trans flag colors reading: “From the field to the stands, the LGBTQ+ community has always been a vital and visible part of the NWSL, and for many of us, women’s sport is a safe haven - a place where we have found community and belonging while being our full selfs. Come to an NWSL game, and you will see not just athleticism and competition, but joy and togetherness. Our league, where queer and trans kids can see themselves reflected on the field and in the stands, is proof that welcoming everyone makes us all safer.”

Text over trans flag colors, reading: “Now, as the trans community faces escalating attacks driven by harmful legislation and damaging public rhetoric, we must continue that fight by standing firm and vocally, together, for inclusion in sports. It is on all of us to ensure that every match, every event, and every space under the league’s banner remains safe, inclusive, and free from hate - for everyone. Silence is not neutrality. Speaking out matters. Showing your support for trans athletes, and trans people, matters. Let’s work together to ensure women’s soccer continues to be a space of inclusion, safety, and joy for all.”

Trans athletes belong in sports, and trans people belong everywhere.

We will always strive to make a safe environment for all fans.
