There are many things that Layshia Clarendon is. A veteran point guard for the New York Liberty as well as the first vice president of the WNBPA.
Late last year, Clarendon revealed they are something else as well – transgender and times should teach everyone that Black Trans Lives Matter as well.
On Friday, Clarendon revealed via Twitter that they have undergone successful top surgery. The news also comes a little bit after Clarendon and their wife, Jessica Dolan, welcomed their first child around the holidays.
I’m usually not scared to share news publicly but the amount of hate, myths & ignorance actually had me debating sharing this joy. I had Top Surgery! I’m feeling free & euphoric in my body & want Trans people to know and see that we’ve always existed & no one can erase us! 🏳️⚧️✊🏽❤️ pic.twitter.com/6ERDPoQGwb
