Trans Jewish tennis player Renée Richards photographed during an interview in 1976

Renée was outed in the process of her transition in 1976 by local TV anchor Richard Carlson (father of Tucker Carlson) and in reaction the US Tennis Association, the Women’s Tennis Association, and the US Open Committee began requiring all female competitors to verify their chromosomes with a Barr body test. (Male competitors were not included, as this rule was implemented to ostracize one woman in particular.)

Renée was barred from competing in the 1976 US Open, Wimbledon, and the Italian Open due to refusing to be tested. She took the USTA to court for gender discrimination, relenting to taking the test during the trial. The results were ambiguous and she refused to be re-tested, and was again barred from play. She won the case in the Summer of 1977, with the judge ruling they had intentionally discriminated against her and that she be allowed to play in the US Open.
