Lana Lawless, the MTF transgender golfer, was denied admittance to the Ladies Professional Golf Association — because she wasn't born a lady. HELLO LAWSUIT.
Lawless, 57, who had gender reassignment surgery in 2005, is going after both the LPGA and the Long Drivers of America for rules that require competitors to be "female at birth." The LDA even changed its rules in 2008 — because of Lawless, who managed a 254-yard drive at the Long Drive Championship, and won.
