Meghan Cortez-Fields, a student at the New Jersey Liberal Arts College, recently broke her college’s record in the women’s 100-yard butterfly swimming event. She was a part of the men’s team for three years and recently became a part of their women’s team after transitioning into a female. Many netizens have openly spoken against this and one of the biggest names among them is tennis legend Martina Navratilova. 

The tennis legend has always been very vocal about her stand against the participation of males who transitioned into females in the women’s category of any sport. She has suggested the formulation of a different category for transgenders to solve this problem, as the status quo is extremely disadvantageous and, in fact, unfair to women. 

Transgender swimmer at New Jersey college,Meghan Cortez-Fields, smashes women's 100 yard butterfly record after competing in men's team for three years - I will keep saying this over and over- this is wrong and completely fair and quite frankly a mockery.

She also came first in the 200-yard individual medley and second in the 200-yard butterfly event at the Cougar Splash Invitational. It is a 6-day sports meet between six schools in Dallas, Pennsylvania.

Those who choose to remain blind to the injustice of allowing mediocre male athletes to become record-breaking female athletes are either incompetent or misogynists. There is no in between anymore. 
Gaines told Fox News

Martina Navratilova had spoken up even when Riley Gaines was denied her first place due to a trans swimmer. The tennis legend voices her opinions on all the important matters around the world, especially in the USA. Her stances against trans women in Sports and against Donald Trump are pretty well known.
