#TeamNavratilova is gathering pace!

Firing Martina from Allies is working out to be an own goal as more people stand up and speak out on this.

twitter.com/hashtag/TeamNavratilova?src=hash

We know how twitter works Hmm in regards to women speaking out so perhaps this thread could be a place to gather excellent quotes and pictures for people to spread across other platforms and show that Martina's views are shared not by a trickle of support but a tidal wave.

I feel in need of a very nice #TeamNavratilova picture to put on my fbook, any social media gurus around to advise?

Fucking hell, that James O'Brien dude. I'm usually only a lurker, but that interview has hurtled me once more to Peak Trans.

The absolute arrogance and pig-headed ignorance of the man. The misogyny emanating off him like rancid grease. Absolutely zero comprehension of women's experience of moving through life in a female sexed body. The astounding arrogance of him. The intellectual vacuity of his little mincing jibes. The absolute absence of critical thinking.

It's the misogyny. It's always the misogyny that reveals trans activism and its enablers for what they really are about.

Wow. Is he this ignorant or just pretending to be? How delusional can you get?!?

Last week, Davies sent a letter to the IOC’s president Thomas Bach signed by 60 former British athletes — including 20 gold medallists — calling on the organisation to rethink its guidelines which, from 2015, have made it much easier for men who identify as women to compete in female sport.

SIXTY!

There is nothing on her Twitter that I could see. However her love of cakes and puddings is inspiring Grin

boatyardblues Has Judy Murray said anything public?

She has, although I forget what exactly, and Twitter is blocked on my computer so I can't check. But yes, she has said publicly that people with penises do not belong in women's sports.

She will be remembered long after these imposters (who they?)

DodoPatrol · 25/03/2019 22:46

Martina is such a star - strong, talented, calm and so very non-snivelly.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/03/2019 21:22

Iused2BanOptimist · 25/03/2019 20:42

Poor Martina. She had no idea what she was walking into when she rattled Rachel's cage. So grateful to RM for sterling work bringing sunlight and alerting the world to the madness. Grin

TheMagicFupa · 25/03/2019 20:41

And let's not forget Judy Murray (Andy's mother and one of Britain's top tennis coaches). She's not having it either. :)

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/03/2019 17:28

I had a discussion with my sister at the weekend about competitors the Japan olympics. I think her blood pressure may have come down by now.

boatyardblues · 25/03/2019 17:26

Martina yet again nails the key issue at hand.

@Martina
Cope or adjust?!? This is unreal. What needs to adjust is the asinine idea that lesbians need to adjust to a penis. Who that penis is attached is not the deciding factor here.

Honoured to be interviewed by #MeghanMurphy on this @FeministCurrent* podcast. The beginning of a conversation that desperately needs to happen! It is critical 👉🏼 #IOC to set #biology-based eligibility standards that keeps the #female #athlete category level for #valid results 🙏🏼

This site is truly inspiring.

Sadly Yes Elite Woman’s sport is going to be devastated in the next few years unless we can divide up races by sex not gender so females get the opportunity to race on a level physical playing field. Biology & science is the only way to decide what’s fair XY/XX #fairplayforwoman

Wonderwoman Martina Navratilova peaks the world

I wouldn’t call it indoctrination but I do think it’s going too far the other way. Some kids are just different and people are way too quick to go the trans route IMO. Let them decide later, and meantime stay away from drugs and irreversible surgeries.

It breaks my heart that in the sporting argument over fair play the rights of the born female, the vast majority of those in a woman’s race, are being totally over looked. Where are OUR rights? Why is it less important to look after females in our society?#fairplay4females

Grace Brethren Christian School, which educates students from prekindergarten all the way through high school, announced it was departing the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference (PVAC). And it made clear that the reason it was departing was the league’s stance on allowing transgender athletes to compete alongside other students.

cyclist Victoria Hood says that gesture isn’t enough. "They’re born male, they have a male body and that body goes through puberty with that influx of testosterone which then shapes their body," Hood said. "Just by lowering that testosterone for 12 months – that’s not going to eliminate a performance advantage. "Sport has to be fair."

My god, that thread. Someone referred to them as ‘old white rich women’ Kelly Holmes included. They’re so stupid it hurts.
