REnee Richards
Born Richard Raskin in 1934. Richards had been dressing as a woman since he was a child. As he got older he felt that he was born into the wrong body. He worked as an eye surgeon and even did medical work in the military. Off and on he would try and have a sex change. In the early 1970s he married and had one child and it ended in divorce. In 1974 he had the sex change operation. In 1976 Richards moved to Los Angeles and became a tennis player, but as time went by information leaked out about the sex change and Richards was banned from tennis. But a lawsuit that she won reinstated her to play tennis. She continued playing, but retired in 1982 and relocated back to New York and taught Martina Navratilova and also continued eye surgery profession. Richards wrote the book Second Serve in 1984.
