    The doctor should lose his license for sure for the quality of that work. They'd kick him/her out of a bad 3am drag show.

    No kidding. I don't really know where to start with the jokes on this one. You know it's something special when being a 50 year old freshman gets glossed over.

    I'm not familiar with the legalities of declaring a change of gender, but isn't that a process? The teammates don't seem to care too much.

    Of course they dont, because women are more accepting about sexuality issues than men are...men feel threatened if a FTM tran upstages them so they would lash out against him...women just dont care and theyre glad she is happy

    Well that might be because she's on their team, I doubt opposing teammates could be counted on to feel the same way. Also, if someone on your team has an advatage such as this you might expect them to upstage you. A bit different having a female turned male on a men's sqad. Not apples to apples here. Just sayin'.

    Re: Good for her but how is this fair?

    Personally I think they should be weirded out, and not b/c of the gender change. it's the gender change then a 50 year old playing college sports. The whole thing is just not quite right. If it were just some 50 year old having a sex change OK, no news, but having one when your life's dream is to play women's college sports and having that dream be so important to you when you're 50 you have a sex change and get on a women's college basketball team is just creepy to me.

    The sex change is the least weird part of this to me. They're far more common than 50 year olds playing on college sports teams.

    I think this is accurate. She is 5 inches tall and can bench press a truck

    Isn't a person's sex determined by DNA and the number of X vs Y chromosomes? Females have to X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome. That person did not change their sex, they just changed their outward appearance.

    Re: Good for her but how is this fair?

    I've seen this analogy regarding sex change: Giving someone a sex change because they think they're the other gender is like giving an anorexic liposuction. I don't know if that's fair or accurate, but it does raise a pointed question.

    Re: Good for her but how is this fair?

    You are right - it IS an ugly man. I guess when I have seen transgendered people they usually have always looked closer to the gender they transitioned to than their original gender - so therefore it isn't much of a stretch accepting the new gender. With this guy/gal - there is no way I could look at him and think - Oh - that's a girl. I will say this - it took a heck of a lot of courage for him to go through with surgery.

    According to this story, she gets a lot of Facebook friend requests from opposing teams, and according to the story, without a single "heckle."

    Better looking pic for sure, but I don't get why a 54 year old man/woman/whatever thinks he/she needs to play college basketball. The sex change his his/her business, but playing college sports is just weird.

    Let's get down to the nuts and bolts of this, there is no she in there, it is one screwed up man. I have seen where they are doing this with children at age 8 or 9, one sick world is all I can say.

    Pappy, believe it or not--that is a better picture. The other one was REALLY bad.

    I feel sorry for the person, and I guess I'm glad the person is doing what they dreamed of doing. I have issues with their competitive advantage, although in reading the stories, it appears it is very limited at this point. Age doesn't help either.

    That's how bad the first picture was. I've never been prone to beer goggles, and you couldn't drink this lady pretty before you died of alcohol poisoning.

    Guess Darrell's right it's good she's pursuing a dream, and given the age I'm not sure it's a big competitive advantage other than height, but if the "follow your dream" gets opened this wide I have one about being a regular at the Playboy Mansion.
