Martina Navratilova says male-born transgender athletes are 'cheating' - 'insane' practice
Daily Mail ^ | 2/17/19 | Lara Keay

Tennis star Martina Navratilova has claimed transgender women in sport are 'cheating' unless they have irreversible surgery to change their anatomy.

The nine-times Wimbledon champion, 62, says she is happy to address transgender athletes by whichever pronoun they desire, but would not be happy to compete against them unless they have fully transitioned.

This is the second time Navratilova has spoken out on the subject, following a furious Twitter row with transgender female cycling champion Rachel McKinnon at the end of last year.

Writing in the Sunday Times today, she said: 'To put my argument at its most basic: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organisation, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies. It's insane and it's cheating.'

It’s a no-brainer that people with no brains can’t grasp.

I wonder if she felt cheated when she attempted a sexual fling with a woman who turned out to be a pre-op tranny.

Incidentally, I wonder if Martina ever developed the hots for Bruce Jenner, post-op?

And does erstwhile, ummm, lickety-split activities with a post-op M-->F tranny, present grave risks of the tranny getting infections due to the high bacterial load of the human mouth?

are 'cheating' unless they have irreversible surgery to change their anatomy.

Still cheating because they are still men. Mutilating their anatomy doesn't change their DNA.

I didn’t say anything when they came after the baker because I didn’t own a bakery,

I didn’t say anything when they allowed men in the girls bathroom and girls in the boys bathroom, because I didn’t attend school,

I didn’t...

Get the point Martina?

Too bad. You want a liberal world, insanity is the cornerstone.

Yes. it must be determined by chromosomes. XX is female. XY is male and never the Twain shall meet.

Wait until male athletes pretend to be transgender to compete in women’s sports.

Um - that’s what she means.

Was just reading about a couple of trans women (fake women) in high school that beat all of the girls in track meets.

Very simply, having male bone structure is an advantage for most athletics. Changing your name from (for example) Bruce to something more superficially feminine like (for example) Caitlyn does not change that bone structure or the height advantage or any of the other anatomical differences that give men a physical advantage. Those men who are mentally ill perverts are also cheaters when they compete against women in athletics.

Of course it is. But rationality was crippled in order to keep Bill Clinton in office. And murdered so the Empty Chair could be false advertised as capable.

Female athletes can’t use steroids, but male athletes posing as female athletes can.

What wonders Title IX hath wrought.

She’s right but for me the main point is that Modern Society only tolerates the raw truth when things get desperate, and then still only from Designated Groups.

You’re normal?

You have to button your lip.

Correct.

beg to differ.

trannys are following the rules.      the controlling organizations are, however, insane.

Good point. This issue exposes the hypocrisy of so many of these female athletes — who push for “equality” on their own terms, while insisting they must compete separately from men.
