Former East Carolina football player transitioning gender
by Matt Comer, July 19, 2007, 12:01 am
Wow… 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.

Life for me is very “normal” now as I have been at this for two years. I also had further plastic surgery and I think I look better than these gastly shots done for the Orlando Sentinel. If anyone has any questions or needs support in their gender journey, pls reach me @ gina.duncan@wellsfargo.com.
Take care, all.

SIR,
You had a wife and two children and abandoned that life for your own foolish endeavors. I hope you’re proud of what you did to your children’s psyche.

John, your comment was moderated. The software on the site works; there’s no need to submit it three times. Patience is a virtue, or I guess they didn’t teach you that in Sunday School.
