Mianne Bagger
Mianne Bagger (born 25 December 1966) is a professional golfer from Denmark. Bagger moved with her family to Australia in 1979, when she was twelve and started to again play golf fully in 1998, first as an amateur player, then turning professional in 2003. In 2004, by playing in the Women's Australian Open, she became the first openly transitioned woman to play in a professional golf tournament. She also became the first trans woman to qualify for the Ladies European Tour in 2004,〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/3980131.stm〕 also becoming the first high-profile transitioned woman to qualify for a professional sports tour since Renee Richards joined the Women's Tennis Association tour during the 1970s.
She has been instrumental in gaining eligibility for transitioned women to compete on professional golf tours.〔 Through her efforts, many professional golf organizations have amended their practices, but the policies generally still constrict rules of gender variance, and view atypically gendered women as something other than women.〔 Bagger has sought to remove gender policies, specifically female-at-birth, as more problematic than helpful, and encourage sports organizations to see "a fuller understanding and acceptance of gender variance and human diversity."〔
==Early life and amateur career==
Bagger was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on 25 December 1966. She took up golf at the age of eight. At the age of 14, she was pictured with golf legend Greg Norman during a golf clinic. Bagger moved with her family to Australia in 1979.〔 In 1992 she started hormone replacement therapy and in 1995, had sex reassignment surgery.〔〔 In 1998 she returned to golf as an amateur in Australia. She was open about her life and played in various amateur events around Adelaide and was invited to join the women's South Australian State Squad.〔 After winning the 1999 South Australian State Amateur the media attention increased.〔 She played for the state team of South Australia (1999–2002) achieving a national top-ten rank for amateur women.〔 Various players from time to time, were still concerned about Bagger having an "unfair advantage"〔 The suspicion was that "if I happen to do well or win a tournament, that it was because of an unfair advantage."〔 She had researched the issues herself and, also through personal experience, realised that concerns were unfounded. All organizations that prevented her from competing had never actually done any research but had merely adopted a blanket ruling without question.〔 Bagger answered that many people are not aware of physiological aspects of gender variant conditions and the issues related to transitioning. Bagger again won the South Australian Amateur in 2001 and 2002.
Bagger felt she had taken her amateur career as far as it could go and was looking to turn professional. She found that rules would prevent her from competing professionally in Australia and "on most golf tours around the world."〔 While still an amateur, she was offered the chance to play in the 2004 Women's Australian Open.〔 This led to a front-page story in Sydney, which prompted Bagger to hold a news conference the day before the tournament to answer questions and present information on transitioned and transgender people.〔
