Martina Navratilova, a gay rights advocate and 18-time Grand Slam tennis singles champion, is no longer an ambassador for Athlete Ally, an LGBT athlete group. She was also removed from the group’s advisory board.
The move comes after Navratilova, who herself is a lesbian, wrote an op-ed for the Sunday Times of London in which she criticized biological men who take hormone treatments and undergo gender-reassignment surgeries as having an advantage in sports over biological women.
“To put the argument at its most basic: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organisation is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires,” Navratilova wrote.
“It’s insane and it’s cheating. 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,” she added.
