Miranda Salman was born a man. Today she is one of the stars of an all women soccer team.

As a young boy it was obvious Salman had a talent for soccer. But in sport known for its masculine ethos, Salman was was a victim of prejudice.

But it was that passion for soccer that kept her going.

[...]

Salma's skills on the field were undeniable. She started playing at the professional level and joined a first league team named "Pumas." But despite her mastery in the sport, she was still victim of discrimination. Still a man when she began playing at a professional level, her teammates mocked her because of her flamboyant mannerisms.

I hate when I see that "was born a man" and "was born a woman" crap. People are not born men and women; people are born infants!

This article reminds me of a transwoman who posts on YouTube as "minorqback."  Her name is Jordan Moore and she was playing college soccer.  She hasn't updated in a while.
