Junior Kye Allums, who was known as Kay-Kay, is now the sole “male member of George Washington’s women’s basketball team.” She recently transitioned from a woman to a man and the school is very supportive.
Kye said:
“GW has been supportive during this transition. This means a lot. I didn’t choose to be born in this body and feel the way I do. I decided to transition — that is, change my name and pronouns — because it bothered me to hide who I am, and I am trying to help myself and others to be who they are.
I told my teammates first, and they, including my coaches, have supported me. My teammates have embraced me as the big brother of the team. They have been my family, and I love them all.”
Allums will be the first publicly transgender person to play NCAA Division I college basketball!
Amazing.
