After that it went quite quickly and I started hormonbehandligen after I finished in april 2018. I shot it in several years and it is the toughest decision I have taken. In the ten years I have based my identity on being a basketball player."

" you can't shoot at it anymore. I, Leon (Reuterström), who played in the SDHL, and now Loui (Sand) really ends up in the middle between them. We will not be included, but now one can no longer exclude us. The sport is based on that everyone should be able to be with, regardless of gender, sexuality, or origin, so it is very important for the next person to be taken hold of. "

"How much do you miss basketball? "

"– It is a huge loss and a great emptiness. But I have a lot more confidence in myself now. I la of basketball to be myself, but I am more complete and one hundred % Noel if I get to play basketball and that I hopefully do soon. Then get all the details sorted out later. "
