Che Flores, the first non-binary transgender referee at a major U.S. sporting event, inspires young people around the world. Flores spoke about the importance of staying true to yourself even in the face of adversity.

In an interview with GQ magazine, Flores said:

"I just want the young cool kids to look at the people who are on the pedestal and not take advantage of them. I'm not going to use the league in any way to benefit myself. It's just to show the young kids that we can exist and we can be successful in all different ways."

Flores' decision to go public as a non-binary transgender person is a brave one, especially considering the current climate facing transgender athletes. Transgender athletes face increasing scrutiny and discrimination, but Flores' story reminds us that they are not alone.

Flores' success as an NBA referee is a testament to their hard work and dedication. They overcame many obstacles to get to where they are today, and they are an inspiration to all.

The investigation was canceled after Lewis announced his retirement, but raised questions about the fairness of NBA officiating. The league has said it will continue to monitor developments, but it remains to be seen how this will affect the upcoming season.
