JAKARTA - New York Liberty player at WNBA, Layshia Clarendon underwent breast removal surgery to become a transgender.

After becoming a key figure at the WNBA, Clarendon, identified as non-binary, posted several photos of his operations on Twitter.

"I'm usually not afraid to share the news publicly, but the amount of hatred, myth and ignorance actually got me arguing about sharing this joy," he wrote in the post.

"I had a great operation, I feel free and euphoric in my body.

"I want transgender people to know and see that we are always there and no one can erase us."

Both New York Liberty and the WNBA have given their support to Clarendon.

In fact, the player is seeking clarification from the league that the operation will not jeopardize transgender playing careers. This was immediately confirmed by the league.
