Give her her flowers now. NC Native Justine Lindsay has a smile that could light up the room. The 29 year old professional dancer is a member of the cheerleading squad that supports the Carolina Panthers, the TopCats.
Justine sent her followers into a frenzy in March when she announced on Instagram that she had been accepted as a member of the TopCats. Justine thanked everyone who supported and believed in her on this long journey to fulfil her dream. A dream that once seemed impossible.
“Cats Out the Bag you are looking at the newest member of the Carolina Panthers TopCats Cheerleader’s @topcats as the first Transgender female l. I would like to thank the beautiful and talented dancers who supported me along the way alumni TopCats family and friends for your love and support.

Also to my beautiful coach @chandalaelanouette you are a special being that I truly cherish thank you taking that leap of faith on me to be apart of your legacy and so many others. This is a moment I will never forget and I cannot wait to show you all what this girl has to bring. Thank you @topcats a dream come true.”
Buzzfeed interviewed Justine shortly after the announcement back in March. She told the outlet “I’m happy because I was able to break down that door and tell people, ‘Hey, we are not just sexual beings. We are actual human beings who want to better ourselves.’ I felt like, Why not tell the world: ‘Hey, listen, this is a great accomplishment.”
Justine is truly an inspiration.
