Oh this is horrible news. I have such great memories of watching her play.
She already beat cancer once. I hope she does it again.

- how can this happen to such fit athletes💔

Wishing her the best! She appeared as a special guest at a charitable event I was in charge of planning a few years ago, and she was really kind, always cracking jokes, just lovely to work with (on top of obviously being one of the best tennis players of all time!)

I too am not saddened by proud bigots getting bad news. That being said, I hope she recognizes the same science that is responsible for the medical treatments she is going to receive also validates gender identity and trans women.
Anyways. As a young tennis enthusiast she was inspirational to me and she had to go ruin that. Now i could care less about her.

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)

elyn6791 t1_j2olemz wrote
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.

She's really lucky it's two separate cancers. Good luck to her.

We are going to get downvoted just for stating a fact and otherwise not being emotionally invested in a problematic celebrity. :)

Actual terf or just had a different opinion on trans women competing in sports to some.
I see a lot of female athletes being called slurs like "terf" for some pretty nuanced and balanced opinions these days so I feel the need to ask.

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

I don’t care about tennis, but I can only imagine how hard it is battling two types of cancer let alone one. I hope her the best and hope she gets better!

Yeah, I just assumed it was one cancer that metastasized. That is never good.

Horrible news. Last year I got to play a doubles match against her. Great person

Double faults
crazykentucky t1_j2rkpkh wrote
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.
crazykentucky t1_j2rkyi6 wrote
Yeah, the first vid they included lower in this thread is just Martina saying that trans women have a physical advantage over natural (or “born” women? Not sure the correct term) women. She is only talking about fairness in sports, which is something society is still figuring out.
That’s not being a TERF imo.
