LGBTQ group kicks out tennis legend Martina Navratilova for opposing trans men competing with women

Image
Having fallen foul of LGBTQ advocates, famed tennis star and openly lesbian Martina Navratilova was officially removed from the advisory board of a major LGBTQ organization because of comments she made about so-called transgenders. Navratilova released an op-ed in  The Sunday Times  on Feb. 17 where she wrote that “transgender” athletes should not be allowed to compete against biologically female athletes. She wrote that it is unfair for men to compete as women because of their innate physical advantage over biologically female athletes.

There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard.” Among her critics was Rachel McKinnon, a male philosophy professor and competitive cy...

Her fellow tennis greats keep lobbing derogatory shots at her, but former superstar Margaret Court keeps smashing returns without flinching. Lesbian  Martina Navratilova  called for  Margaret Court Arena , home of the Australian Open , to be renamed because of recent statements by Court defending the immutable definition of marriage. Others, including top-ranked men's player Andy Murray , quickly piled on. The former  bad boy of tennis ,  John McEnroe , delivered a tongue-in-cheek statement  via video . After declaring that he is a “strong advocate of same-sex marriage,” who assumes genderless marriage will become law in the land Down Under, McEnroe went on to make a proposal. “As for renaming the court that bears her name in Melbourne Park , the jury is still out. The self-appointed commissioner of tennis [McEnroe] might have a viable solution: Keep the name, and when same-sex ‘marriage’ finally becomes legal in Australia, I will personally cal...
