Title: Martina Navratilova
Post by: drfchound on June 18, 2025, 04:23:18 pm
Martina Navratilova has spoken out, against trans women being allowed to compete in womens sports.
She cited recent situations where women have refused to compete against trans former male opponents stating that the trans players have serious strength and reach advantages.
In some sports, like boxing for example, the differences could be dangerous.
She is calling for sports bodies to create women only events.

She's also said if Trump had been in power in 1975 when she left Czechoslovakia, she would never have left. She believes that the USA today is a totalitarian state that would have refused her entry.

She is also the bestest, bestest friend of Chris Evert. And Chris, of course, sadly needs friends.

I think that is right Raven.
I wrote the OP in response to some people on here who seemed to be in favour of trans people being okay to take part in womens sport.
