Martina Navratilova recently expressed disapproval towards Caitlyn Jenner’s comments on President Joe Biden’s declaration of the Transgender Day of Visibility falling on Easter.
Since its inception in 2009, the Transgender Day of Visibility has taken place on March 31 every year in order to raise awareness about the achievements of transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. While the date of Easter varies each year, this year it aligned perfectly with March 31, allowing for both occasions to be celebrated simultaneously.
Caitlyn Jenner was displeased with this turn of events and took to Fox News to criticize President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
“Its just a shame. This is really about, again, the Democrats, the left destroying family structures, destroying religion. I mean, look they took the religious symbols off the Easter eggs in the White House Easter egg hunt. It is just all about trying to destroy religion and what do they want? They want religion to be government,”Caitlyn Jenner said to Fox News.
Upon hearing this, Matrina Navratilova called out Jenner’s own family dynamics and accused her of being a hypocrite.
“So says a divorcee….6 children with 3 different wives and it’s the left that is destroying the family? Got it… what a pathetic hypocrite,”Martina Navratilova responded via her X (formerly Twitter) account.
Martina Navratilova’s stance on transgender inclusion in women’s sports: Clearing the confusion
Martina Navratilova firmly stated her position on the matter of transgender women competing in women’s sports events. She clarified that she does not oppose transgender athletes participating in sports, but believes they should compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex.
The 18-time Grand Slam champion was a guest on one of the episodes of the “On with Kara Swisher”podcast.
The ex-World No. 1 expressed her desire for a fair competition for female athletes by advocating for the exclusion of transgender women from women’s sports.
“We are not against trans athletes. We are for women athletes to compete on as level a playing field as possible, which means the males who now identify as women, should compete in a male category and women who identify as men but don’t take testosterone can compete as women,”Navratilova said on ‘On with Kara Swisher’ podcast.
Navratilova clarified her position by stating that she did not oppose the civil rights of transgender individuals. Instead, she opposed the inclusion of male bodies in women’s sports.
“I’m all for trans rights on a civil level, a hundred percent. And this is not against trans athletes. This is against male bodies competing as women if they identify as women,”she continued.
