LGBT group cuts ties with Martina Navratilova in row over transgender women in sport
UK Guardian ^ | February 20, 2019 | Helena Horton

An LGBT sporting group has cut its ties with tennis legend Martina Navratilova in a dispute over transgender sportswomen.

The nine-time Wimbledon champion and LGBT campaigner was accused of being transphobic after saying that it was "cheating" to allow transgender women to compete in women's sport, and claimed they had a physical advantage.

In an article for The Sunday Times, Navratilova wrote: "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."

“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.”

personally, I find this confusing.

I can never remember who the pronouns are referring to in this trans world.

Who is the “he” who is “going back” to making babies?

And who won the 76 decath gold?

Bruce or Caitlyn?

I just find it confusing....

If the nonsense is to continue, and I have no reason to think it won’t, there should be a separate catagory for delusional faggots who think they are actually the opposite sex. They’ve got their own letter, after all. “Trans women” are not really women, and should not be treated as if they are. It does a disservice to all of society to be forced to aknowledge a lie, but particularly to women who can not compete with men pretending to be women.

Big woop.
As if anyone would give a shi-er—give an Obama about ties with a group who thinks that everything in the multiverse is all about them.

Her point is true. You can superficially/cosmetically make yourself look female, take hormones to look female, but physiologically down to your DNA you’re still male with all the physical advantages of that competing in a female sport division. It’s fundamentally unfair.

But that’s just me being un-PC.

reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires...

I'm confused just on that last part... would make more sense if the earlier part of the sentence ended, and then she said: "He can't make babies regardless of what he/she desires."

She is probably just as confused with all this weird pronoun crap as we are.

Of course she is 100% correct.

To highlight the absurdity of it all thousands of boys and men should demand access to girls sports teams and displace every real female from the team.

It’s only “FAIR”.

There are few things more satisfying than seeing folks, who once sat at the top of the ‘grievance pyramid’ suddenly waking up one day to realise that they’ve been shoved a few levels down, or even better yet, right OFF of it.

Someone needs to give her the memo that the top level is currently occupied by military age muslim males, the second level by “undocumented immigrants”, the third level by all the various flavours of transgendered, and the fourth tier by African American women. So-called “TERFs” and/or “TELs” (i.e. ‘Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists, and/or “Trans-Exclusionary Lesbians” have been unceremoniously shoved right OFF the grievance pyramid, and are currently lying in the same cold, stinking mud as Male, “White Devils®”, and socio-political conservatives.

Sometimes it really sucks to get a taste of your own medicine, doesn’t it? :P

Sorry dyke, the pecking order deems that he/she’s trump dykes. Dykes are old and dried up. The he/shes are fresh and new. /s

Martina Navratilova has a world-famous name.

The “LGBT group” (which is called “Athlete Ally”) has never been heard of by anyone.

Publicity stunt.

Imagine 75 boys showing up in August of this year at each school, in girl’s clothing, and just announcing they are ‘ladies’, and they want to participate in high school girl’s basketball. Across the country, they’d take full control of the high school girl’s teams.

I love it. The lesbians are trying to remove Margaret Court’s name from Margaret Court Stadium because she came out against all the lesbians in tennis. Now the lesbians are under attack from the trannies.

While I sit back and watch it BURN ...

Martina is discovering where lesbians sit in the LGBT pecking order.

Gay men will stick with other non-straight men against lesbians, and it’s the gay men who have more money and power.

You must not deviate one iota from the party line.

I find this confusing as well. Perhaps Ms. Navratilova needs a biology lesson, herself.

So now the gays get all “Conservative” on us.

Perversion is perversion, there are no degrees of it, it’s all the same.
