Eddy, who is signed to Angel City Football Club in the National Women's Soccer League, one of the premier sports leagues in the world, published an essay in the New York Post yesterday — one day after International Intersex Awareness Day — arguing that trans women and intersex women should not be allowed to compete in the league.

Outsports just proved once again that queer stories belong everywhere--even on the biggest stage in television.
The long-running LGBTQ+ sports publication took home an Emmy Award for its original short-form docuseries Ballin’ Out, which follows several out players and coaches from the USA Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team as they prepared for the 2023 World Championships in Dubai. The series, directed by Michiel Thomas (Game Face), won for Outstanding Short Form Program, marking a first-of-its-kind win for the site.
