And I can see where that would-- I-if you were doing this solo and walked away, uh, can you imagine how isolated you might feel? As her teammates joined her here, though, there's some strength in numbers.

Footage of the protest has since gone viral across social media, igniting widespread awareness for one of the trans athlete incidents currently plaguing Washington State.
