LPGA defends in opposition to Lawless lawsuit

The Associated Press accounts that Lawless, a 57-year-old who elected to undergo sex reassignment surgery in 2005, has filed a lawsuit in opposition to the Ladies’ Professional Golf Association (Ladies Professional Golf Association). It appears the Ladies Professional Golf Association has a rule that rivals must be born female, so a United States of America District Court in San Francisco will address whether such a rule is lawful. Lana Lawless maintains that such a rule runs afoul of the civil rights of course to her by California law. Lawless wants the law to bar the LPGA from CA and demand that Long Drivers of The United States pay her damages.

Long-drive championship sees Lana Lawless being a challenger

In 2008, Lana Lawless won the women’s division of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship with a 335 yard strike. Now the event will not allow Lawless to defend her title, as the participation policy has fallen in line with LPGA standards. The suit Lawless has filed can be compared to another. Moonbattery reports that in 1977, the new York Supreme Court heard a case from transgender tennis pro Renee Richards that is similar. Since Chief United States of America District Judge Vaughn Walker just made a ruling in favor of gay marriage, Lawless will likely be in favor at the liberal court, states Moonbattery .

From S.W.A.T. to swatting golf balls

Lawless had been a man who worked in Southern CA city as a bartender before this change. She also worked as a Special Weapons And Tactics cop for 18 years, accounts Right Celebrity. Lawless had been also married, but fathered no children. “I had a very tough and mean exterior. Individuals didn’t want to mess with me,” Lawless said. “But Lana was always in there. I had started to go to Los Angeles to the clubs, playing dress-up on the weekends. But I wanted to be a normal girl.”

A normal girl when it comes to competition

Lana Lawless always states, “I am a woman.”. “I’ve lost muscle mass. I don’t have big guns (biceps). They give you a drug that stops you from producing testosterone. Your muscles atrophy. I feel like I do not have any power.”

Every little thing might change with an additional landmark legal ruling in her favor.
