SAN PABLO -- As the buzzer sounds to announce the substitution, a handful of Mission College basketball supporters chant: "Gabbi! Gabbi! Gabbi!"
Most of the 50 or so onlookers in the dingy, yellow-tinted gym briefly look up from their chili-cheese nachos and smartphones, and then back down. A few whisper and point at No. 42, marveling at her size.
It was the debut of Gabrielle Ludwig, and at 6 feet 8, 220 pounds, with tattoos on her arms and legs, she stands out in the Contra Costa College gym. At 50, the Fremont resident is about three decades older than her Santa Clara community college teammates and opponents -- and much taller.
What many at the 19th annual Comet Classic did not know was Ludwig had only been a woman since July, when she had a sex change operation. They didn't know the long path traveled by the father and Desert Storm veteran, and how she may be the first transsexual athlete to play college sports as both genders.

If he has a y chromosome, he is a fraud. To think people get excited by stuff like this. We are a nation of morons with a moron of a leader.
I always wondered what happened to Gheorghe Muresan. Now I know.
At least he/she/it isn’t a felon which places he/she/it well above the typical pro basketball player.
I hope the other teams refuse to play
White He/Shes Can’t Jump
Having cosmetic surgery does not affect one’s sex. Calling this person a woman is pure propaganda.
Well, there’s no such thing as a transexual woman, there’s just male and female.
Bodily mutiliation and cross-dressing has no effect on the DNA of every cell in the body.
6 feet 8, 220 pounds and feels like a woman?
What a depressing article. But go and look at the video if you really want to be depressed...
“gender was determined by birth certificate.”
“On Nov. 30, an Alameda County Superior Court judge declared Gabrielle Monika Ludwig a woman and ordered her a new female birth certificate.”
Isn’t this a bit like re-writing the official history and then burying the actual historical records?
A WNBA draftee? He’s bleeping 50. He’ll have a heart attack trying to run the floor with the girls from UCONN and TENN.
he;s a man plain and simple , no matter how many stockings he wears.
He already played for a previous college. How much eligibility does the NCAA allow?
That’s a good question, I have no idea.
The man is a 50 year old queen. I’m guessing the average girl on an other team is looking forward to hip-checking this freak into the bleachers.
Hope you’re happy, feministas! Watch as more men push women out of sports and employment due to sicko crossdressing and mutiliation.
So glad I don’t have daughters.
Holy bleep, he got a Do-Over on eligibility!!!!! Can this be used to get a conviction thrown out because a murderer was convicted as a man?
