Meet Colombia's Transgender Football League

As Colombia basked in the glow of its first World Cup appearance in 16 years, the country's marginalized transgender community uses football as a tool for acceptance and inclusion. Global news site Vocativ goes behind the scenes of Colombia’s first transgender football league.

“We hope there will be acceptance from the community with our game. People can see trans girls play. There is a tendency to fear what you don’t understand. This is a way for people to get to know us.”
