American tennis legend Martina Navratilova has yet again made her stance clear earlier regarding trans men playing in the women’s division. 

As per the former Grand Slam champion, the women’s division of any sport is not the place for ‘mediocre’ male athletes to perform. That’s not all; the American has also heavily criticized the transgender inclusion policy of the United States Tennis Association.

As per reports, this has helped the Kearsage HS girls’ track and field team finish as the runner-up among the 25 teams. The former World No. 1 was quick to react and shared the tweet with a caption. 

And I will keep saying this as nauseum until the rules change- women’s sports are not a place for failed male athletes.

More interestingly, this is not the first time such an incident has been heard of in the USA.

Recently, one 13-year-old girl lost her place on the women’s football team due to the inclusion of a transgender male.
