Not all dreams come true

June 10, 2008 11:11 PM - Kristen Worley has a dream: She wants to compete in the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
But Worley's dream is unlikely to come true this year, not because of her much-ballyhooed sex-change surgery, but because she failed to qualify at any of the pre-Olympic events that could have earned her the right to compete.
Worley, who grew up in Mississauga, is the first known transsexual to declare her intention to compete at the elite global sport meet, this year being held in China.
