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.'

Shunned in 3,.......2,...........
Fully transitioning is impossible, theyve still got a bone and muscle mass advantage.
No shit, Sherlock.
Does that idiot sentence even deserve a response?
The Left has now destroyed women’s sports. They have no answer to “men” competing against women. What can they possibly say? Are they going to say something sensible like “sex isn’t a social construct, it’s a biological reality?” They cannot say that. Notice that Martina even said it’s okay once they have “fully transitioned” whenever that may be.
As I recall, Martina had an Adams apple and man hands ,along with uncommon strength for a woman. She doesnt like the idea of men in tennis skirts competing with women like her, who had a big advantage over more feminine players.
Born a male, always a male.
Get surgically mutilated to mimic a female, still a male just surgically mutilated.
Get hormonally mutilated to mimic a female, still a male just hormonally mutilated.
Psychologically damaged and deluded into believing you’re a female? Still a male, just mentally damaged and deluded.
Martina says that the transgenders are cheating? Wow. I wonder how long it will be before she is forced to walk that one back.
Great point. Feminism like all grievance isms is usually hijacked by the left.
Even if they do have irreversible surgery, they have the bone structure of males. “Transgender” ideology is male supremacy, pure and simple. All the men who hate female athletes and women’s sports get their revenge.
I obviously don’t know for sure but I would bet that Martina was once on steroids.
So being a women’s libber lesbo is asking for full metal gender insanity???
So its not cheating if he gets the choppadicoffomy?
I think its still cheating. Go with the xx and xy to determine eligibility, anyone with 3 can petition in, which is fair. People with female-ish musculature dont often try to compete as males.
Does that idiot sentence even deserve a response?
She finds her penis gets in the way when she attempts to insert a tampon.
Yup, and it’s a good thing to rub the feminists noses in their ridiculous stances on stuff.
Those guys can change their body shape but they can’t change their genes.
Wait? It’s past tense already.
Garbage in, garbage out. She and her ideological compatriots started the process back in the '70s when they demanded absolute equality in every respect, which required that certain facts of reality be ignored.
Those who questioned the wisdom of doing so were hooted off stage, ridiculed, and in some cases fired from their jobs.
Now, 45 years later, the errors her generation forced into the legal and social system have now been magnified to elephantine proportions, and society has accepted them, as a would a slowly-boiled frog. And now, she finds this fact troublesome, even though there were those who — back then — warned of precisely this sort of thing happening. They were laughed at. Now she's laughed at, by some anyway. Not enough, unfortunately.
