At seven feet tall, former basketball prospect Lindsey Walker is the world's tallest transgender person, according to the World Records Academy.

The U.K.'s Daily Mailreports that the 25-year-old Ohioan, who grew up riding motorbikes and lifting weights, "always felt different."

"I was smart and always had girlfriends and loads of girls chasing me," Walker told the paper. "But it somehow didn't feel right, almost like it was a charade."

After dropping out a college and foregoing a basketball scholarship, Lindsey began wearing women's clothing. It was then that something clicked. Changing her name from Greg to Lindsey, she began transitioning into a woman.

According to the Mail, Walker, who after two years is legally recognized as a female, "now proudly boasts a B-cup bra size and buys her fashionable clothes and high-heeled shoes to fit her size 16 feet from specialist websites online."

Currently saving money to complete her gender reassignment, Lindsey has contacted the Guinness Book of World Records in hopes of officially securing her title as world's tallest transgender person.
