LPGA players voted Tuesday to allow transgender women golfers the opportunity to play on the tour.
In a league meeting prior to this week's LPGA Tour Championship, a motion was voted on to amend the LPGA's constitution by removing the "female at birth" requirement, LPGA commissioner Michael Whan said.
The change is a reaction to a lawsuit filed Oct. 12 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco by Lana Lawless, a 57-year-old retired police officer who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2005. Lawless claimed the policy violated California civil rights laws.
Lawless won the women's world championship in long-drive golf in 2008, but was ruled ineligible to participate this year.

Since the tour is loading up with lesbians and now transgenders, they might as well combine the whole damned shooting match into one simple tour: EVERYONE. Men... women... Freaks.
Then we'd have REAL equality!
