Just to place this in a historic context, vis-a-vis Renee:

In 1975, Richards underwent sex reassignment surgery. She is known for initially being denied entry into the 1976 US Open by the United States Tennis Association, citing an unprecedented women-born-women policy. She disputed the ban, and the New York Supreme Court ruled in her favor in 1977. This was a landmark decision in favor of transsexual rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9e_Richards
