by not protecting from bad influences, allowing you to take hormones so get best results in competences, that is more money for them.
May be I am wrong in the methods. I haven't a solid base to acuse the parents of Gaby.
Nor have evidence that she is gay, but... have you hear she in a press conference?
Navratilova is a lady compared to Gaby.
I'm argentine and that hurts me, but I have to say it.:'(
Are you saying she has been over-masculinized via hormones?
Do you disapprove of homosexuality?

2 - May be, I don't know for sure. BTW, which is you opinion?
What is clear at least for me, is that her parents has not taken the due care of her education. And IMHO she was exploited by them to earn money. At least in the first years of her brilliant career.
3 - No. At least if it is not induced by a forced way of life from thirds.
In this particular case, I think that Gaby (if she is gay, see my first answer), she was pretty happy playing tennis when she was very young. No more nor less.

Do you identify with Gaby in particular? Or with other famous Argentinians too? For example, do you like the writer Borges?

I not identify myself with Gaby, the only things we may have in common are those that all human beings should have. I can make a critic appreciation of my life, and make comparisons, but I (sincerely)think she was born to be a winner in tennis. I sincerely hope she is being succesful in other, more important, trascendental, aspects of life.
And I'd be happy to know she has developed a happy life. She earned tons of money during her career. But that doesn't mean she is happy today.
Borges is a very different case. But in some aspects you can compare him to Gaby.
He, in my honest opinion. deserved the nobel prize in literature.
He never got it.
And never do Onetti (from Uruguay). nor Carlos Fuentes (Mexican).
He was a real genious handling words and creating fictions.
But he was handicapped. He knew very little from the "real life" there, ouitdoors.
This is theme for another thread. And a long one if there are people here really (I've said really) interested in literature and/or psychology.
But going back to your original question, I must to say No.
I admire Borges. But I do not feel an "identification" with him.
In spite of it, some of his poems and short tales make me cry.
May be I am too sensible.
May be he was the greatest.
