Transgender Kye Allums to play for GW

So I found this article this morning. Thought it would be interesting for the class. A girl is on the George Washington woman's basketball team but wants to have a guys name will start the process of becoming a transgender after the season.

  1. I'm really impressed with his teammates and coach in being so supportive. I wonder if the NCAA would be as supportive if he started hormone therapy. Probably not, their thinking is probably, "sure, we'll change a few pronouns and let him think he's a guy. But the second he starts taking testosterone, done."

    Our guest speaker on Wednesday will be talking more about transgender issues.
