Gabrielle Ludwig is a 6 foot-6, 220 pound, transsexual basketball player for Mission College in Santa Clara, CA. She is now 50 years old and playing college basketball. All throughout high school, she was Robert John Ludwig. She played high school basketball on the boys’ team. But now she is a girl and has been taking female hormones that make her lose muscle, height, weight, and act more like a woman. All of her teammates at Mission College support her 100%, even after the bashing she got from the ESPN anchors, calling her an “it”. The law has changed to state that if you have been taking hormones for over a year you can play. Ludwig has been taking them since 2007. Some say that even though she is a woman now, she was a man and should not be allowed to play women’s basketball.
I think she should be able to play woman’s basketball.http://globegazette.com/news/national/transgender-college-hoops-player-keeps-head-high/article_00eeb37a-254e-5614-b654-a16135715601.html
