"I was asked by a journalist after the game how I felt about being the first transgender player and I said 'What? There aren't transgender players who play soccer in the world?' It's sad to hear that humans can limit the lives of other humans.

"The world can take more from the team than just from me. What the world can learn is from the boys, and how they accepted me. It doesn't have to be a big deal, if you accept trans athletes. They have a lot to bring to the field."

-- Jaiyah Saelua, quoted in "Pitch perfect: Transgender star lifts world's worst footballers" by Joe Krishnan, 2014-05-03
