Transgender woman Breanna Sinclairé made history Wednesday night by becoming the first transgender person to sing the National Anthem at a professional sporting event.

Sinclairé, a classically-trained opera singer, took to the mound at Oakland's O.co Coliseum to belt out the Star-Spangled Banner before the A's faced off against the San Diego Padres in the first game of a two game series.

Another headline about something that a trans person does that wouldn't be news if a cis person did it.

But as they say, any publicity is good publicity and GOOD publicity is even better. Can't you dream of the day when it won't be news because being trans won't be a big deal. Sigh.
