Interview with Kye Allums
Kye Allums was the first openly transgender college athlete, playing Division I basketball for George Washington University.

In this oral history, Allums reflects on his experiences as a black trans masculine person; navigating his changing understandings of masculinity, femininity and gender fluidity; and his national and local advocacy work.
