ginaduncan.jpgWow… like who ever thought? Being openly gay and a current or former athlete is tough enough, but transgender and transitioning to another gender? She’s got some guts.

Gina Duncan, formerly known as Greg Pingston and now living in Orlando, used to play on the East Carolina Football team during the 1970s. Since last November, Duncan has been living openly as a woman and is now completing her transition to female.

Checkout the story at the Orlando Sentinel.
