Che Flores will become the NBA’s first openly nonbinary, transgender referee when the California native steps on to the court this season.

In an interview with GQ published Monday, Flores recalled opening up to fellow officials at the NBA referees’ annual preseason meetings in Brooklyn, New York, last month.

"One piece I was missing for myself was that no one knew how I identified," Flores told the outlet. "Being misgendered as she/her always just felt like a little jab in the gut."

It truly is hard to fathom for me that people walk through their day to day lives concerned with how others "identify" them.

It was likely hired solely for this reason and if it is the worst referee in history will not be fireable.

So……. It’s a she that wants to be a man?

nonbinary

Or does that mean neither man nor woman? We have to guess, but we then have to keep our guesses secret because there is no correct answer.

Title of article should read:

"NBA Hires Mentally Ill Official".

I love how she is so oppressed too. Poor thing. Will she ever get a job and get the attention she so badly craves?

Oh, looks like she did and is still whining.

I'm glad we finally got this answered. We've had dozens of threads and 1000s of posts on the MSB with us all asking and wondering how she identified.
