Meet Kye Allums, Transgender NCAA Basketball Player
Kye Allums, a junior guard for the women's basketball team at George Washington University, is the first publicly transgender person to play NCAA Division I college basketball.
OutSports' Cyd Zeigler tells the story of Allums, who changed his name from Kay-Kay earlier this year. A Minnesota native, he will make a very significant homecoming this month.
"On Nov. 13, Kye Allums will introduce himself to the NCAA basketball world at the Best Buy Classic in Minneapolis in a game against the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay," reports Ziegler. "When he steps foot on the court, Allums will be the first publicly transgender person to play NCAA Div. 1 college basketball."
