Alternet article on Christine Daniels

We’ve shared a cup of coffee and conversation together about Christine Daniels here at Beck’s Cafe before. You can catch up with that past talk by skipping back to our May 21st entry about Christine at Beck’s Cafe at this link HERE. But this new article in Alternet, that is fresh on the wire as of August 1st, 2007, is a little different.

Alternet does what alot of other stories have done, covering Gender Identity Disorder and being a Transexual from the medical side and covering some of Ms. Daniels public disclosure. But the author, John Ireland, goes much further in giving an excellent survey history of transexual women in sports, and, the unexamined but very real culture of bigotry that exists in the culture of sport. He goes further to discuss those two areas in the context of Christine’s challenges today as a transexual woman sportswriter. The article is very well written and very informative.
