ORLANDO, Fla. -LPGA players have voted to allow transgender players to compete on tour in response to a lawsuit filed by a California woman who had her sex changed five years ago.
The players voted to remove the "female at birth" requirement from the tour's constitution at a year-end meeting at the LPGA Tour Championship, commissioner Michael Whan said. He said steps will be taken in the coming weeks to make the change.
Lana Lawless, a former police officer who had the sex change operation, filed the federal lawsuit in San Francisco in October claiming the "female at birth" requirement violated California's civil rights law. The 57-year-old Lawless wanted to prevent the LPGA from conducting tournaments in the state until it changed its policy and was seeking unspecified damages.
Lawless also sued three tour sponsors and the Long Drivers of America, which followed the LPGA policy. Lawless won the annual women's long-drive golf championship in 2008 with a 254-yard drive, but was barred from competing this year after organizers adopted the LPGA's gender rules.
"I think it is a major civil rights victory," Christopher Dolan, an attorney for Lawless, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday. "We are pleased that the LPGA has voted to end this archaic and outdated policy."
Dolan cautioned that the final changes are not expected for a couple weeks. But he was optimistic the LPGA's amended policy would allow complete access for transgenders.

They are fools falling for Marxist ideology that says men and women are not different—they are equal. It is to open up homosexual marriage and destroy children—remove their natural right to be raised by a biological mother and father. It is to eliminate Christianity and the natural family—condition children into seeing them as “evil” and haters.
It is to outlaw thought that differs from their paradigm (Atheism/pagan) that outlaws moral absolutes and makes relativism rule—anything that feels “good” do it.
My philosophy professor told me many years ago that relativism always leads to a world of chaos and the need for a master......obambi’s wet dream.
If an archeologist found his skeleton years later, he would classify the subject as male.
Remember the Johnny Carson episode where Raquel Welch pets her pussy? I think it was Arnold Palmer that was also a guest and referenced his putter standing up?
Mark Twian once penned......it is considered bad favor to pick up a lost golf ball while it’s still rollin
Any one who has there proverbial junk voluntarily hacked off is not a woman to me.
If Bill Clinton found her remains, he’d say she was “kinda hot”
Remember when our society wasn’t constantly being disrupted by mentally ill activists?
Johnny Carson would say that this guy went to the Slauson cutoff ... and cut off his Slauson!
CSFOFL!!!!!..........
“Remember when our society wasn’t constantly being disrupted by mentally ill activists?”
I don’t know ... “Progressives” have been with us a long time ... but I know what you mean.

Wasn’t that Dr. Renee’ Richards?
Next thing you know women will want to play on the PGA tour....ah, Nevermind!
“Lawless won the annual women’s long-drive golf championship in 2008 with a 254-yard drive.”
This is a joke. At my local municirpal golf course there was a 16 year old girl who blasted a drive 285+ yards on a 280 yard par 4. This is not unusual for kids who are pretty good.
The women pros are at 280 yards. Good luck to “Lana” if she tries to play against real women and girl golfers. She will get whopped badly.
One and the same.
The PGA has no sex-based exclusion policy.
