George Washington University basketball player Kye Allums had been playing a role for most of his life: though he was born a female, he said his physical anatomy didn't match how he felt internally. For years, he kept silent until the stress of his predicament started affecting his game and his playing time.

"As soon as it affected my basketball, I knew it was serious, and I had to do something," Allums said at a press conference, in which he announced that he was a transgendered man playing on the women's basketball team. Afterward, an effusive Allums was beaming and told interviewers happily, "It feels like a dream."
