Martina Navratilova, a gay rights advocate and 18-time Grand Slam tennis singles champion, is no longer an ambassador for Athlete Ally, an LGBT athlete group. She was also removed from the group’s advisory board.

The move comes after Navratilova, who herself is a lesbian, wrote an op-ed for the Sunday Times of London in which she criticized biological men who take hormone treatments and undergo gender-reassignment surgeries as having an advantage in sports over biological women.

“To put the argument at its most basic: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organisation is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires,” Navratilova wrote.

“It’s insane and it’s cheating. I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair,” she added.

Haha

Eating their own.

These people are mentally ill. But somehow Western civilization has somehow embraced them as "normal".

I think the conversation should switch away from them and focus on a civilization that thinks this is all perfectly "normal".

Imagine how much worse it will be 25 years from now. Where does it go next, pedophilia attempting to become normalized, how about marrying your dog or cat? It probably shouldn't surprise us if that's the next direction these things attempt to go.

Laurel Hubbard sustained an elbow injury at this year's Commonwealth Games and had to withdraw just when it looked certain that she’d win gold.

"Simply reducing hormone levels — the prescription most sports have adopted — does not solve the problem," she wrote. "A man builds up muscle and bone density, as well as a greater number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, from childhood. Training increases the discrepancy. Indeed, if a male were to change gender in such a way as to eliminate any accumulated advantage, he would have to begin hormone treatment before puberty. For me, that is unthinkable."

Navratilova continued, "Hundreds of athletes who have changed gender by declaration and limited hormone treatment have already achieved honours as women that were beyond their capabilities as men, especially in sports in which power rather than skill is paramount. McKinnon is just one example."

"That may uphold the International Olympic Committee’s charter, which holds that 'the practice of sport is a human right,' but it is surely unfair on women who have to compete against people who, biologically, are still men, she said.

Transgender "female" Rachel McKinnon, center, a biological male who won a women's cycling championship.

"I still believe that fairness should always be valued and strived for, and that unfairness introduced through human action and chemical means should be condemned and outlawed," said Navratilova, who won nine Wimbledon titles (Grand Slam Singles), four U.S. Open titles, and two French Open titles.

Navratilova, 62 and a U.S. citizen, also denounced the "tyranny" of the politically correct gender police. "I also deplore what seems to be a growing tendency among transgender activists to denounce anyone who argues against them and to label them all as 'transphobes,'" she wrote. "That’s just another form of tyranny. I’m relatively tough and was able to stand up for myself in my Twitter exchange with McKinnon, but I worry that others may be cowed into silence or submission."

She continued, "Here’s how I concluded my Twitter spat: 'Rachel [McKinnon], you may be an expert on all things trans, but you are one nasty human being. Attack, attack, attack. I will not take it from you. You did not engage; you bullied."

I think it will be a lot worse in 10 years......

This would be a good educational moment for "rolltide" to research where this all comes from.

He still thinks he's a "woke and intelligent" dude, but he is as asleep as can be and has no idea where all this is comes from.

If he does some research, he'll eventually get there.
