“Some people have gone as far as to quit the league and say, we’re not being a part of this anymore,” Delisle said of her previous league, which had about five trans members.  “And taking them out of that league really left them with an empty space not to be able to come out on a Saturday and Sunday and be with their friends.”

She continued: “You’re going to have lots of people who say, ‘Well, yes, there shouldn’t be people playing in women’s sports who aren’t women.’ And then you have people who are saying, ‘Let them play because it’s recreational tennis.’ None of us is competing for scholarships or prize money.”
