First Openly Trangender NCAA athleteWhen I first heard the story that women was starting the process of turning into a man, it made me question ethics. Is it fair than an overly masculine female who tell "his" teammates to call him "he" and pronounce his name "Kye" instead of "Kay" to still continue to play a womens sport. If I was the teammate of this athlete, I would feel very uncomfortable in the locker room. Knowing the fact that a man is watching me dress, taking showers, and sleeping in the same hotel rooms would make me self conscious. The NCAA allowed her to continue to play because she hasnt started her testosterone therapy yet. This always makes me question some things. If she wanted to become a male so bad why wait until after the season to start? She said in an interview that she probably already has a lot more testosterone than good amount of males. I really do not find this situation to be very female for the women athlete, having to guard a MAN on defense is pretty difficult.
