The tennis icon has been evident in her feelings about the inclusivity of trans women in the female category of tennis. Though she is a gay rights activist after coming out in 1981, she is aggressively opposed to the idea of trans women playing in the same category as women.

The 67-year-old retired tennis player feels that trans women have an unfair advantage over women, and she would never have liked to face trans women during her playing days.

The 18-time Grand Slam title champion has also received wide backlash and criticism for maintaining her stance on such a sensitive issue, but she does not budge an inch as she is still actively expressing her opinion frequently on social media platforms.
