Yardbarker.com offers us the story of Robert John Gabrielle Ludwig, a 50-year old, 6-foot-8-inch transsexual who was born a man but is now playing women’s college basketball:

“With support from his daughter, Ludwig underwent a sex change operation in July 2012 and began a new life with a female partner and her two daughters. It was while coaching one of the daughters in AAU basketball that Ludwig began considering making a basketball comeback.

Back row center, in case you weren’t sure. Doctors do amazing work these days.

“Ludwig says she joked with the women’s coach at Mission College in Santa Clara, Calif., that she still had eligibility left, and the coach joked that he still had a roster spot left. So Ludwig enrolled in 12 credits of online courses to become a member of the basketball team. She recently was cleared to begin playing and scored three points and grabbed four rebounds in her debut, a 69-62 loss to College of the Siskiyous on Saturday — her first college basketball game since 1980.”

This is all happening in the San Francisco area, where such abnormality is pushed to page 3, column C because the indignant local nudists have crashed city hall to disrupt proceedings.

If you are one of those people who still counts California as America, I dedicate today’s chain pull to you. So:
