Martina Navratilova states the obvious

At first I was delighted to see thisat last a big name in women's sport is speaking up! but then I got angry all over again that this utterly obvious point has to be explained to an adult, in this case, a Guardian journalist. It boggles the mind.

There are a few McKinnons. There is also our friend from British Columbia with the tampon fetish. Actually scratch that several friends from British Columbia.

They have been granted this modern 'civil rights' veneer of untouchability, and they use it as their bully pulpit to be abusive males.

Hopefully, that kind of assumption will eventually cause overreach and bring the whole house of cards crashing down, R0

Fingers crossed that Navratilova is the tipping point - surely she must have contacts for all kinds of ruling bodies?

They have been granted this modern 'civil rights' veneer of untouchability, and they use it as their bully pulpit to be abusive males.

"They Who Shall Not Be Misgendered" has been litigating against small business owners, having websites like wordpress delete accounts and shadow edit articles, having reddit employees ban users, and takes personal responsibility for Meghan Murphy's deplatforming."

Mediocre males lauding themselves for 'winning' at a lower level than they are capable of remind me of 'competitive dad' from the fast show.

Rachel- you might be an expert on all things trans, but you are one nasty human being. Attack attack attack. I will not take it from you. Not blocking you but enough already.

Martina gets it . . she's fucking great.

I feel like shaking Rachel by the hand and personally thanking her.
Dear oh dear. What an own goal.

The only possible response is ‘You ... realise I’m Martina Navratilova ... right?’

Helen Saxby tweet question,
"Today's burning question:
If you feel entitled to send a tweet like this to Martina Navratilova (that's MARTINA NAVRATILOVA) are you:
a) Enjoying the fruits of male privilege
b) Suffering the effects of female socialisation
Close call I know"

I'd like to see a better example of mansplaining, male privilege and male bullying than that, but I doubt I ever will.

Trying to one-up Navratilova in the 'female athlete' stakes - dear, oh feckin' dear.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAA [FGRIN]

McKinnon's an "expert" in being McKinnon - nothing fucking else.

I'm wondering if maybe McKinnon doesn't really know who Martina Navratilova is.

I'm actually crying with laughter at McKinnon's "Do you know who I am?" stuff.

To Martina Navratilova. 😂😂😂

You dillock, McKinnon.

That there is some disordered thinking amongst some prominant TRAs has to be acknowledged.

When it is revealed, acknowledging it is not transphobic.

Denying it is dangerous both to the individual and those who suffer the consequences.

@rachelvmckinnon @Frances_Larina @GivenToRant @MsMacSee You didn’t engage, you bullied. For example asking me to delete a tweet and then asking others for a screenshot of it so you could keep shaming me. Not going to happen… twitter.com/Martina/status/1076100805286072320?s=17

Martina's back!

Towards the bottom of the replies on the Bindel thread are two comments. One accuses Martina of a "hate" tweet and one asks "What effect does rhe presence or absence of a penis have on one's tennis serve?"

I shit you not. These people apparently believe the nonsense they're spouting.

RMK: Do you know who I am?!
Everyone else: Nope

i'm waiting to hear comment from John McEnroe - "You Cannot Be Serious" should cover it.

Well. All the things that've peaked me in the last 2 years, all the things that have made me sad, angry or afraid, and it's this that has finally made me nail my colours to the mast and speak up in public.

Go Martina!

I was just having a browse through the Twitter storm and came across this: mobile.twitter.com/Twig80580973/status/1076083513731018753

Someone says of MN I always thought he/she didn't identify as either

If anyone needed any more proof that the woke view of sex and gender is regressive as hell, here we have it. Women who don't conform to feminity aren't really proper women. It's the same old shit in a new shiny package.

Sorry I know I'm preaching to the choir here but yikes, how can anyone not see how sexist that is. Has Martina Navratilova ever given the slightest indication she doesn't know she's a woman?

Make no mistake, this is misogyny and a movement to eradicate women's sports entirely. Because that 'what difference does a penis make to your serve/' comment means 'why do we have separate sports at all?'
