Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who Tennis magazine selected as the greatest female tennis player for the years 1975 through 2005 is speaking out on transgender athletes.

Martina Navratilova states that transgender athletes physiologically born as men should NOT be allowed to compete against women. Read on…

CelebNSports247.com reports that Martina Navratilova says men who have transgendered to women is “insane and it’s cheating.”

The Tennis legend Martina Navratilova told the Sunday Times:

I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair.

Martina Navratilova who has become passionate about the issue after an online spat with transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon, who won the Masters Track championship in L.A. back in October, adds:

The fact that McKinnon, a transgender woman, who was born a man, was allowed to compete against women is “unfair.”

Of course, the transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon pulled the “transphobic” card claiming that Navratilova is prejudice against the transgender community.

Martina has taken things into her own hands to prove that this is wrong and against the rules. She says she decided to dedicate months of her life to researching the topic. Navratilova feels even STRONGER that trans women have an unfair advantage. Bottom line, Transgender women shouldn’t be allowed to compete against cisgender women.

Martina wrote:

Simply reducing hormone levels — the prescription most sports have adopted — does not solve the problem. A man builds up muscle and bone density, as well as a greater number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, from childhood. Training increases the discrepancy. Indeed, if a male were to change gender in such a way as to eliminate any accumulated advantage, he would have to begin hormone treatment before puberty. For me, that is unthinkable.

Martina is up for having the tough conversations on the issue, but feels the Transgender community will try to denounce the truth of the issue.

She states:

There’s a “growing tendency among transgender activists to denounce anyone who argues against them and to label them all as ‘transphobes.'”

Martina says all she wants is “fairness.”

What are your views on transgender men and women playing in sports that are for real men and women. Is it unfair?
