	Mianne Bagger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At Bagger's first tournament as a professional, Laura Davies and Rachel Teske were among players who were happy to allow Mianne to compete.
		At the tournament she met Ty Votaw, the Commissioner of the LPGA who was later questioned about their policies stating "right now, our rule is that they have to be born women".
		Mianne notes that "they obviously don't consider that I meet that condition"[1], referring to biology not being the sole determinant of whether someone is a woman or not.

		Mianne is a strong woman, who is pursuing her dream despite the attention that it draws to her life, her gender, and her community.
		Mianne Bagger: It was difficult, and I think more so because the world has been led to see us as 'a transsexual'....not as a person or as a woman like any other.
		Mianne Bagger: It was a long process for me. Starting with my own sense of 'something wrong' from 6 or 7, to starting counseling at 18 to finally starting treatment when I was 25.
