She has been public about it in the past multiple times but because she was seen as a sports feminist icon her views really began to overshadow her legacy and she basically learned to keep quiet about it for a long time now. There should be results if you just Google it going back around a decade or less.

Sorry I didn't want to hijack this thread and definitely don't want to wish her any harm and hope for the best outcome but she has come out against trans women in sports (whereas Billy Jean King has offered her support for trans women in sport)

I watched just the first vid, but what she said there doesn’t make her a TERF. She’s talking about physical fairness in sports, and that’s an issue that hasn’t been fully addressed yet.

BJK is the real deal. Her legacy even predates Navratilova. So glad you mentioned her.
