Trigger warnings are all the rage these days so in the spirit of that I just want to warn y'all you are about to read the stupidest story in the world.
Mili is an eight-year-old girl who plays on a U-11 team because she is very good for an eight-year-old. The combination of Mili being very good and Mili having short hair led the organizers of a soccer tournament her team was playing in to wrongly conclude Mili is a boy and disqualify the team.
The tournament organizers said Mili was erroneously marked as a boy on the team's roster, which they said led to the disqualification.
Luckily, it seems Mili has garnered support from some pretty famous people:
Sooo should all these man buns be banned from men's soccer? Naw didn't think so! You do you girl! #beyourbestyou #genderexpressioniscool https://t.co/sEvEGMLE62
