Let me set the record straight on Dr. Renee Richards. She is an ophthalmologist and surgeon practicing in NYC.





His name was Richard Raskin. He was a ranked player as a male. Her prominence in women's tennis came to light when she attempted to play in the US Open as a woman. She was Martina Navratilova's coach and friend for many years.
Reply:Renee Richards , a dentist or former dentist in NY City use to be a man until after he/she had a re-assignment sex surgery done. I think it was about 30 yrs. ago that it was done and I believe her former name was Richard Richards.
Reply:Well the only case I've heard of that you might be thinking of was a tennis pro who used to be a man but is now a woman..

She was never in the Olympics, but she was on the Yale tennis team as a man...
