Tennis legend Martina Navratilova called World Athletics' ban on transgender women competing in the female category a 'step in the right direction' to creating a level playing field.

The 66-year-old, who recently confirmed she had beaten breast and throat cancer, said the world is 'finally waking up' and called an open category where all genders could compete together.

Under new rules announced by Sebastian Coe, the governing body's president, transgender women will be banned from competing in the female category at international athletics events in order to 'prioritise fairness and the integrity of the female competition before inclusion'.

Navratilova has been vocal on the issue of trans women competing against biological females over concerns they have an unfair advantage that can't be removed by simply lowering testosterone levels.

The former No. 1 ranked women's tennis player said champion athletes are revered because they 'rise above the rest when everything else is equal'.

Navratilova won 59 Grand Slam titles over the course of a career that spanned an amazing four decades.

She is a member of the Women’s Sport Policy Working Group, which has looked at how best to include trans women and girls in sport without creating a disadvantage to females.

Speaking to The Times, she said: 'I think the best idea would be to have “biological female” and “biological girls” categories and then an “open” category.

'It would be a category for all-comers: men who identify as men; women who identify as women; women who identify as men; men who identify as women; non-binary — it would be a catch-all.'

The nine-time Wimbledon champion said that once somebody has gone through male puberty, 'there is no way to erase that physical advantage'.

She said the Women’s Sport Policy Working Group have listed all the ways the male body is different from the female body.

The differences include lung capacity, an example referenced by the tennis player was the airway - which is 25 to 50 per cent larger in men.

Navratilova said: 'If you can breathe faster and deeper, that is a massive advantage in top-level sport.'

Other advantages biological males have over females include skeletal structure, skin thickness and muscle mass.

Former British Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies also came out in support of World Athletics' decision to exclude transgender athletes from women's category events - and thanked the organisation for 'standing up for female athletes'.

Writing on Twitter, Ms Davies, who had previously spoke out against the inclusion of trans women in female categories, said: 'Thank you Seb Coe and World Athletics for standing up for female athletes across the world who are worthy of fair sport.'

She thanked her supporters, adding: 'Hopefully we have our sport back. Sport is for all but only where you qualify in the fair category for your biological reality. We'll keep fighting till all girls' sport is protected.'

On the topic of hormone levels and puberty-blockers, Navratilova said the 'bottom line is that we don’t really want to encourage anyone to take drugs to qualify'.

Speaking about the new transgender participation rules, Lord Coe said at a press conference in Monaco: 'The World Athletics council has taken the decisive action to protect the female category in our sport.

'The council has agreed to exclude male-to-female transgender athletes who have been through male puberty from female world ranking competitions from March 31 this year.

'The decision that the council made is a primarily principle-based decision and that is the overarching need to protect the female category. This is what our sport is here to do.'

Under previous rules, transgender women could compete in the female category as long as their testosterone levels were below five nanomoles per litre over a one-year period.

Earlier this month Navratilova revealed she has beaten cancer in an emotional interview with Piers Morgan, adding she had feared she 'wouldn't see next Christmas' and that beating the disease was the 'hardest thing ever'.

The diagnosis had forced her to put on hold plans to adopt a child with her wife Julia Lemigova and even drew up a bucket list of things she wanted to do before she dies.

In an interview on Morgan's TalkTV show, Navratilova said the double diagnosis had terrified her, but confirmed that 'as far as they know I'm cancer-free'.

She added that she only has two more weeks of radiation treatment radiotherapy on her breast and that after this 'I should be good to go'.

With the recent shooting in Nashville, I think it looks like the long media campaign has convinced certain trans people that they really are in the midst of a trans genocide. The stakes are so high in their minds that anything becomes justifiable in the name of 'self-defense'. Trans vengeance looks like it's picking up steam. According to Wiki, the genocide narrative started some time around 2008.

In a 2008 academic article in hate studies, Jeremy Kidd and Tarynn Witten argue that abuse and violence against transgender people makes them a target of genocide as defined by the Genocide Convention, which would need to be reconfigured for their eligibility.[26]

This had me reflection on my time in university, where I was neck deep in woke indoctrination. It's crazy to look back at that time and see how utterly lost I was - and also wonder if some of my friends from back then are on a similar path to these four:

People I knew at that time definitely spoke like this one who poured tomato soup on Kelly-Jay Keen recently.

Both USA Today and the NYT just had to mention that the police misgendered the killer. Yes, yes, children have been murdered, but let's make sure that we not be insensitive.

USA Today accuses Nashville police of ‘misgendering’ trans school shooter who killed 6 people, including 3 children, at Christian school

USA Today wrote in a tweet, “Police on Monday afternoon said that the shooter was a transgender man. Officials had initially misidentified the gender of the shooter.”

I noticed no mention of gender on the CBC article.


There's also an 18+ dance party fundraiser calling for trans vengeance in the form of weapons and self-defense in just a few days.

Not a pleasant thought, iamthatis.

Hopefully your past friends will snap out of it in time, albeit in the interim there is not a great deal you can do.

The following are from the twitter account of the trans woman that disrupted the Posie Parker women's gathering in New Zealand by throwing tomato sauce on her. Uses the word 'slaaay' repetitively. If that isn't whipping up hatred and violence, I don't know what is.

Looks like Rubashkyn will be charged if they can catch her according to local news.

In the article Rubashkyn is quoted as saying:
Some people are asking to revoke my citizenship. I have a warrant for arrest issued already so I will be arrested if I am in New Zealand. I will go to prison, National want to make an example, to them free speech is more important than human rights.

Last time I looked, freedom of speech was a human right.

Police ask Posie Parker juice-thrower Eli Rubashkyn to come forward so matter can be ‘dealt with’
 
"Dr. Peter Kreeft and Dr Jordan B Peterson discuss spiritual endeavor, delving deep into where we came from as a religious species, where we are now in the age of technology, and how we combat hedonism with personal sacrifice. Dr. Kreeft is a professor in the field of Philosophy, and teaches at Boston College and the King’s College in New York. When Dr. Kreeft was a student, he was asked to examine Catholicism which led to his conversion. He’s written more than eighty books on the subject, such as “Handbook of Christian Apologetics” and “Socrates Meets Jesus.”

It's rather lengthy (1h 54 mn) but I found it very interesting:

Yes, and it is the Vancouver Police here:

Second video, the older woman from the sidelines points at the officer and said, you are a female officer, and this should be an an issue for you?

The officer looks over at her and says, "This has nothing to do with you".

The woman comes back, "yeah, I'm a woman and it has noting to do with me, this trans thing," and walks away.

Good on her!
