Also: tennis had Renee Richards. I'm sure there's a bio out there somewhere. Check your university library.

Might tell how the international tennis association (s) handled things...

Renee Richards was always favored in the mixed singles.

Both the beginning and end of the story make no sense to me. First of all, why would he be classified as a female at birth when he had obvious male genitals? And second, on what charge was he arrested on that train? He had perfectly legit documents which said he was female, so why would the police get involved?
