Future Transsexual Olympic Star?

I'm sure you may remember the story of "Lindsay Walker". Her story went public several months ago of how the 7' basketball player is changing her gender.
Most of you I do follow sports closely and I almost was smart enough to wonder if "Lindsay" would ever be allowed to play women's hoops.
Supposedly she is aiming to work out for the 2016 Rio Olympics U.S. women's basketball team.
Anyway you look at it, that would be quite the story.
Regardless of all the sensationalism of a potential transgendered basketball star, "Lindsay" describes it best herself:
"I know there are others like me out there, who are very tall, and because of that they're afraid to come out,' she said.

'It is harder for them to pass as a woman. I want those girls to see me, that I'm seven-foot tall and I'm not afraid to be who I am.

'I feel like the record would convey that message better than my story alone."

Well said!
"Lindsay Walker"
