Martina Navratilova once again rocks the world of sport by releasing new controversial words on the participation of transgender athletes born as men in women’s competitions. After that cyclist Tessa Johnson (née Michael Johnson) won in the women’s 1 ⁄ 2 and single speed, while Evelyn Williams won second place in the women’s single speed at the Chicago Cyclocross Cup.
Navratilova argued that the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports was wrong and unfair. She wrote: “And to those complaining almost all I talk about is this- it’s because there are more and more male bodied trans people (males) competing against females.
And winning more and more. This is patently wrong and unfair. So I will keep speaking out, thank you,” she wrote in the post.” Linda Blade answered Martina Navratilova, anwering her: “Race organizers of @usacycling need to stop calling these “women’s events”.
You are fooling nobody. These are “beta-male races” where some women get to be involved. In the process you are turning your “sport” into a joke. #Cycling #USA #UNSPORTING #Nonsense.”

Martina Navratilova blats again transgender athletes
Not only that: Navratilova also attacked the trans woman Dylan Mulvaney, who was named Woman of the Year by a British LGBTQ magazine, the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards.
Mulvaney explained: “I am so honored to be with you all tonight, and you know, some see me as the woman of the year, some see me as a woman of a year and some change, as I only publicly came out online 560 days ago, and some people don’t see me as a woman at all.” Navratilova expressed her disappointment on the issue, writing on X: “What an utter joke. Again. Tell me how many females who identify as men win any kind of a male award? Virgin for this.”
