Sara Weiss was set to compete in Florida at a very important Pickle Ball Tournament when someone on Twitter chose to create chaos by revealing that she was born a male.

Her longtime mixed doubles partner, upon finding out, quit. Except, Sara never denied who she was. In fact, she had revealed her past life in a book.

It's one of many difficult moments in her life which she has faced head on, dealt with, overcome and been better because of!

Sara is the very definition of perseverance and her story is one, that I really hope, will speak to, and inspire, many whose mental health struggles are based in confusion about gender, orientation, sexuality in a world that seems to want to celebrate diversity, and yet, appears to be moving more backwards, rather than forward.
