Martina Navratilova is a pretty active figure on social media, especially on Twitter. The former American tennis player often tweets on various topics which include sports and politics. She never shies away from putting her opinions forward on social media

Recently, the American tennis legend was on the receiving end of some demeaning comments from journalist India Willoughby. The journalist questioned Martina Navratilova’s gender status, and believed that she was a man. India stated that the former tennis player had more testosterone running in her body. “Why, what are Martin-a’s chromosomes? Does Martin-a have ovaries? If you don’t have ovaries, are you not a woman? Martin-a has way more natural testosterone coursing through her body and facial hair. Think I win,” India tweeted.

Martina Navratilova was surprised by India Willoughby’s reasoning for her gender status. She took to Twitter to give a befitting reply to the journalist, who seemed to have lost the plot. “India’s misogyny is quite striking. I lost plenty of matches because of my period, so I think that means I have ovaries…but what do I know since I am not a woman,” the former tennis player tweeted.
