Media Ignore 1st NFL Transgender Cheerleader’s Exit

August 20th, 2025 3:04 PM

While the NFL’s addition of two new gay male cheerleaders has made national headlines this week, the departure of the league’s first transgender cheerleader has not, because it doesn’t fit the media’s pro-LGBTQ agenda.

On Friday, two LGBTQ media outlets reported the news that Carolina Panthers’ cheerleader Justine Lindsay, a biological male who identifies as female, will not return this NFL season. But, as of publication time five days later, legacy media have refused to report the development.

Outsports broke the news of Lindsay’s departure from the team’s TopCats cheerleading squad on August 15. Later that day, The Pink News published an article citing the Outsports revelation.

Lindsay issued a statement to Outsports, in which she does not explain why she left NFL cheerleading, but notes she will work on other pursuits, such as “community involvement.”

Apparently, that work will include attacking the president of the United States, Donald Trump:

“Don’t let a president who is delusional stop them from reaching their goals whether they are trans, African American, not American, etc.”

“Lindsay said her next focus is to be a sportscaster and is going to school to further her career,” Outsports reports.

Lindsay joined the Panthers in 2022. Later that year, the NFL issued a press release featuring him and cheering Transgender Awareness Week:

“Now, more than halfway through the NFL season and in support of Transgender Awareness Week (Nov. 13-19), Lindsay is determined not only to be a role model for others but to enjoy every second of the process.”

While the NFL has lost its poster child for transgenderism, it is ramping up its efforts to score points with the LGBTQ+ community by adding more gay, male cheerleaders. And, as part of its gender-bending propaganda, the league has also nearly doubled the number of male cheerleaders and promoted some of them to cheer-team captains.
