After being suspended from his team, a hockey player disguises himself as a woman and takes the figure skating world by storm, as a Tonya Harding-esque, tough-as-nails new female skater, and in the process, learns how to be a better man.
Plus in response to dpg and mike: I don't see why he "Has" to switch to figure skating. If your lead is going pretend to be a woman, why not as a woman hokey player? After all, that is what your lead is trained in.

For me, this logline raises an interesting question about framing.? Specifically, is there a difference between how a logline would frame the protagonist and how it would frame the objective goal?
A logline frames, that is describes the protagonist, as the audience will see her, not as sees herself.? That is, in terms of her character flaw.? Which makes sense because the protagonist is initially in denial of? her flaw.? So it would be perfectly acceptable to define the protagonist in this logline as a slum lord.
However, it seems to me that in a logline the objective goal should be framed in terms of how the protagonist sees the goal, not necessarily as the audience see it.? ?The objective goal should be framed in terms of what the protagonist intentionally seeks.
In most cases, the audience would frame the objective goal in the same way . (Ripley’s objective goal to save Newt from the aliens.? That’s the way we, the audience, see it and we’re rooting for her to succeed.)? But there are exceptions; an audience may realize the protagonist is pursuing the wrong goal ( which is the case in this logline). Or the protagonist is pursuing the right goal for the wrong reasons.?
To summarize, I am inclined to think that a logline should frame the protagonist as the audience sees her, but frame the objective goal as the protagonist sees it.
So the question I have is:? does the protagonist see herself as a slum lord and her objective goal is to become intentionally an even more despicable one?? Is that what she knowingly, intentionally seeks? Or does she see herself as an ambitious, hard working entrepreneur providing a valuable and necessary product, one who is entitled to enjoy a fat profit margin because of the risks she’s taking and the hassles she has to endure dealing with petty, obstructionist bureaucrats?

Lol, in response to DPG?s idea about a 30-year-old woman who has never had an orgasm. There could be some very funny bits you could infuse into your story.
Comedic bits:
She buys an old motorcycle and goes over a bunch of speed bumps.
She askes if she could use her friend?s dryer, loads a bunch of shoes and sits on top of it.
She tries horseback riding.
She goes to a very straight-laced hypnotist who normally helps people quit smoking and explains she wants him to help her have an orgasm.
She self-consciously tries to read, ?How to have an orgasm? while riding the subway, gets weird looks, then an eighty-year-old lady nods and gives her a thumbs up.
The basic idea is she looks up on-line all the things woman claim have given them an orgasm and tries them out? probably in the form of a montage. (Set to ?I touch myself? or some song along those lines depending on the rights)
