I just had a lady at the conference I’m at stop me in the hallway and ask if I used to play basketball. Why? Because of my height. Apparently, I’m “basketball height.” When she approached me with this question, I immediately worried that she wasn’t just asking whether I played basketball. I worried that she was trying to suss out whether I’m trans. After all, she was commenting on something that makes me a rather extreme outlier when compared to other women.
