==== Sam Kerr ====
[[Sam Kerr]] is a forward for the [[Australia women's national soccer team|Australian Women's Soccer Team]] and [[Chelsea F.C. Women|Chelsea FC]] in the [[FA Women's Super League]]. Kerr has been regarded as one of the best forward players in the sport and has been one of the most highly paid players in women's soccer as well. While Kerr now shares the world state with other great women soccer players, as a young child she shared the field with young boys. Kerr grew up in a suburb of [[Perth]] where there was little to no access to young girls soccer teams in the direct area. Not having a girls team to play on did not bother Kerr though, she simply played on a youth boys team where all of her teammates just assumed she was also a boy. Kerr states in her book ''My Journey to the World Cup'' that she continued to hide her gender because she did not want to be treated any differently. In her book Kerr also revealed that when one of her teammates found out that she was, in fact a girl, he cried. While Kerr's act of hiding her gender was initially an accident, it is still an example of how women (and in the case a young girl) can create opportunities for themselves by looking or acting as a man.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Saeed |first=Daanyal |date=August 14, 2023 |title=Sam Kerr details why she had to hide her gender as a junior footballer |url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/sam-kerr-opens-up-on-why-she-had-to-hide-her-gender-as-a-junior-footballer/news-story/031f7ce28ba2237ffa5296a5b8bdff5c |access-date=September 27, 2023 |website=news.com.au}}</ref>
