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."

Navratilova should be publicly supported on this. Yes, she’s a leftie, but she’s breaking from a party-line lie and she’s getting mugged by reality. This is how independent thinkers are born. An independent thinker doesn’t always make it all the way over to the right (though a gratifying number eventually do), but an honest liberal is a big improvement over a goose stepping party line leftist.

What did the gays expect when they got their wish? That things would just stop there?

Martina actually respects women and the sport of tennis.

She is correct.

He makes babies because without his pollination, it’s just an egg.

He could make hundreds of babies IF he got real busy.

However, hormone replacement therapy likely lowers his count.

But, if therapy is just for the month of official verification, he returns to virility.

Easy Peasy - Wig, lipstick, skirt, shave, padded bra, hormone shot, doctor’s note....

What she said is indisputably true. Therefore, she is now a non-person.

The Left (Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, LGBT goons) never change.

Imagine 75 boys showing up in August of this year at each school, in girl’s clothing, and just announcing they are ‘ladies’

They should just take over one school in each district.

Then, they would all finish 20 - 0 and win every championship.
What would the LGBT "allies" say then?

The problem with SJW causes - attempts to fix imaginary injustices causes real ones.

Since we're all equal, why do we have women's sports anyway?

Gays vs Trans....in a cage!

It’s really more feminists vs trans. When a man can say “I know how hard it is to be a woman”, it sets their teeth on edge. When they say “Men can have babies too”, it ends the “men shouldn’t have opinions against abortion because they can’t get pregnant”. When they beat women in women’s sports, it makes women’s sports look like a joke. The WNBA could be 50% men in a few years.

I give Navratilova credit here. She was an incredible athlete and if I were to put myself in her shoes, the dedication to her sport must have been life consuming. For a man to declare himself a woman and demand to compete against women, having only to dedicate a portion of the time and hard work that she did to compete, would be an affront to her accomplishments.

Why was Martini the greatest? Because she licked all of her opponents.

By "making babies," she means "fathering children."

Yes, women don't "make babies" by themselves.

Women are going to put their foot down soon.
The Lesbian community is already getting tired of Tranny drama and they don’t want them in their bathrooms anymore than straight women.
