A transwoman college basketball player was recently the subject of a vicious verbal assault by two ESPN broadcasters, Steve Czaban and Andy Pollin. Not only did they show their ignorance regarding the medical transition of trans athletes, they went so far as to say that we shouldn't be allowed in sports. They also referred to trans people as 'it' and suggested this was a politically correct term.
Needless to say, I am disgusted and plan to do something about this! Meanwhile, check out Lexie Cannes Blog about this for more information.
