Abstract: In a modern society in many aspects, a large number of transsexual people are prevented from their desire to develop a social need such as the practice of a sport due to discrepancies towards gender. Transphobia, the lack of empathy and understanding and serious deficiencies in respect for an increasingly normative reality; they symbolize the daily life of the trans collective, who mostly encounter a hostile social environment when normalizing their lives doing sport. Through empirical research, a neutral vision and a mostly qualitative research, focused specifically on the world of basketball, it is intended to shed light on the question of the participation of a transsexual woman in a women's basketball league. Through interviews, testimonies of people knowledgeable in the matter, surveys and bibliographic research; understand the global vision on the impact of transsexuality in the sport of the orange ball. The conclusions drawn have to do with the legal capacity of trans players to compete in a female competition, the inequalities that can arise from the competition and, above all, the social debate about their participation in a generically female competition.
