Former female sports greats, media figures, and even a conservative lawmaker tore into a recent New York Times article for referring to women as “non-transgender women.”
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova and other prominent people blasted the piece online for the characterization, stating the outlet should just be referring to biological women as women.
“NYT- you stink. We are women, NOT TRANSGENDER WOMEN. Just WOMEN will do in the future,” Navratilova wrote on the social media platform on Friday.
The Times published an article Thursday which documented the inner turmoil of a women’s college volleyball team – the San Jose State University Spartans – attempting to field a transgender female player in upcoming tournament games.
The attempt to get the trans player to compete has caused division, not only in the league, but among team members, some of whom are suing their own team.
The outlet reported, “Earlier this month, a senior co-captain of the Spartans and the assistant coach filed a lawsuit to stop the transgender athlete from playing in this week’s Mountain West Conference tournament, claiming that she violates Title IX rights to gender equity at federally funded institutions.”
The co-captain was joined by 10 female volleyball players, most of whom are on other teams that play against the Spartans. The Times described the situation as a “complicated mess,” noting that “some of the Spartans no longer talk to one another at practice or outside of games” and adding that even the head coach – who supports the trans student – “has stopped talking to some players off the court, too.”
The Times reporter Juliet Macur appeared to step into the debate as well, as further down in her piece, she employed the term “non-transgender women” as one way to distinguish biological women.

Yes, she’s not wrong. ‘Woman’ came first. The fantasy came later.
She’s all over the place. I applaud her stance on this as well as being against men in women’s sport (she’s stood by Riley Gaines all the way) yet she hates DJT and from what i’ve read- she’s an uber liberal.
Maybe we should refer to gaslight media “journalists” as “unconvicted pedophiles”.
That's the point, even she is outraged at the dems and their progressive insanity.
“...as one way to distinguish...”
One way, yes...a deranged way!
not sufficiently out-raged that she’ll vote against them though
Why even feel the need to say she’s not wrong???!!!
This is FR, not kos :)
I’m pretty sure we ALL agree about that.
It’s not a complicated mess, as the times calls it.
It’s BASIC BIOLOGY
The Left and it’s Ridiculous words
The writers’ and editors’ dept at the NYT must be a fun place.
MANY LBG’S are NOT on board with the Ts.
Or democrats as “unconvicted felons”
The left.
Doing away with women one move at a time.
All I know is I’m getting more popcorn. Kinda liking modern women feeling the consequences of modern women.
Do away with women and all laws related to them become superfluous.
now they know how i feel when it says — White Non-Hispanic...
About time this was said and to think it was Martina. You go, girl!
“The fantasy came later.”
You mean “delusion”.
This is disgusting. And she’s 100% right. Luckily this is backlash to women finally standing up to trannies in sports.
Trannys do not look good skidding around on the hardwoods in skin tight spandex.
No. NO! NO! NO!
