50 Year-old Transexual Joins woman’s basketball team

February 21, 2021 by Wayne Creed 6 Comments

USA Today FREMONT, Calif. — Beneath the foggy mirror in a makeshift locker room no bigger than a storage closet sit 11 women, their wide eyes affixed to an overdressed basketball coach who is delivering a pregame speech that is equal parts inspiration and four-letter words.

The scene plays out at colleges across the country each night, but on this rainy evening inside a dimly lit Bay Area junior college gymnasium, it serves as prelude to a debut unlike any other in the sport’s history.

When the focus of the 12-minute pep talk pivots to this topic, the eyes of 10 18- to 20-year-old women – including one deaf player and another woman a few inches shy of 5-feet – focus on the one Mission College player who has yet to play this season. There near the door sits the oldest (50 years old), tallest (6-feet-6, 230 pounds) and most muscular person in the room: Gabrielle Ludwig.

Gabrielle Ludwig

Ludwig is 50 and last played a college basketball game in 1980 – as a man. They don’t know the odyssey: one failed suicide attempt, two failed marriages; one 19-year-old daughter who insists on calling her dad, two girls who insist on calling her Momma Gabbi.

    So many people screaming for help. Instead of getting help and fixing themselves, they are given what their sick minds desire, aided by democrats.

    It’s all stunning and brave until Princess Godzilla accidentally tramples a teammate. At least with one deaf player and one “a few inches shy of five feet” there’ll be a decent pool betting on which girl gets trampled.
