In this ESPN article about Hedo Turkoglu – the “Michael Jordan of Turkey” – Mert Uyar explains the player’s early years in the section captioned “Hidayet Turkoglu” and happens to mention that he had a female coach. It’s the kind of thing that still stands out – not just that she’s female, but that she was a female basketball coach in Turkey. Your average reader might have a question about that.
But what’s interesting is that they don’t mention that the coach transitioned until they’re talking about how the player himself responded to her transition – that is, when they mention it only as evidence of his commitment to his own playing and the game, because he didn’t let it get in the way the way others did. it’s in the second to last paragraph of the article, to boot.
A good example, in my opinion, of when & where mentioning a transition is relevant, or isn’t.
