>Manchester City defender Kerstin Casparij always knew she "fancied girls".

>But when she grew up in a small town in the north of the Netherlands, Heerenveen, she didn't know "being gay was even an option".

>It wasn't until she became a first-team player at Heerenveen at the age of 15 that she came across the LGBTQ+ community.

>"Being gay or queer wasn't something that was necessarily 'normal'. I didn't know anyone who was," she told BBC Sport.

>"When we had to walk in pairs at school, I always wanted to hold the girls' hands and I always wanted to be the prince in plays.
>"It's stereotypical - but I knew I liked girls. It was such a taboo that I thought I had to like boys. I had boyfriends who were just my best mates. I thought that was love.
>"I liked them, but not like that. It was confusing through my teenage years. I didn't have those feelings [for boys]. Was that weird? What do I do with that?"

>Now she has gone on to carve out a successful career in the Women's Super League, starring in a Manchester City side that sit second in the table, she wants to be an ally for others.
