All-Star Gender Fluid Cheerleading?

[dat.jpp]

I love seeing this!
I myself am gender fluid, at practices I usually look more boyish but no matter how I'm feeling I usually do full spray tan and all of that for competition. My coaches (though I haven't asked at all) are extremely accepting and I'm sure they would let me wear a mens uniform if I wanted. The only reason I could see them saying no is because I'm a flyer and it would be harder to catch and stunt in pants.
When I coach and at try outs I let the athletes tick if they would like a "Pants" uniform or a "skirt" uniform. I didn't put genders on it and I use gender neutral terms most times. Not putting genders on it gave the athletes more of an option which made a lot of parents happy-- though some parents were livid but sometimes you gotta live with bigots.

HOWEVER: Do NOT wear a binder when you cheer. That is so dangerous.

but talk to your coaches and see where it goes :) Wishing you luck!

What happens if someones agender? I know this is a pretty dumb question, but just wondering.

Ah, I have a trans F-M best friend who did allstar cheer, He was only on the team for like 2 months. He didn't like it so he quit. (Just wanted to share)

Did he just not like it, period, or was it due him not feeling welcomed and/or accepted there?

I guess, if their birth certificate says female, then technically the team would stay all girl. I didnt think about that.

The uniform would still be a discussion with the gym owner. I dont believe that all gyms would allow someone to wear a male uniform over a female uniform for religious reasons.

I look forward to the day when we see Muslim women in cheerleading wearing uniforms for their gym over modest workout clothing like they do for the olympics.

I've had Muslim kids on my team. They've all worn leggings under the skirt and a sport hijab. The rest of the uniform was good to go (no crops, since they're youth age). I also make the same offer to kids who have body issues or dress conservatively and didn't want to show their legs
