Martina Navratilova recently stressed that women should quit and boycott sports competitions where transgender athletes are allowed to compete in the same category as biological women.

The former World No. 1's advice came as a reaction to transgender athlete Alana McLaughlin, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, beating Celine Provost in an MMA fight. Martina Navratilova wrote on X:

"Just watched the whole video! Sickening. The technically superior fighter,a female, losing, laying in a pool of blood while the commentators cheer on the winner, a biological man., saying this is historical. Yup, it is that for all the wrong reasons. This is dangerous and unfair."

Although the 18-time Grand Slam winner agrees that women should not be the ones refraining from participating in sports tournaments, she maintains that a boycott could be the quickest method to yield favorable results for women.

"Women get the shaft either way, but some boycotts could be the fastest way to change the rules," Martina Navratilova wrote.

A user on X opined that women need to stop competing against transgender athletes, which Navratilova affirmed.

"Many sports women would have no way of knowing they are competing against men, also some don't come out as trans. The only fair way forward is not allow biological men to compete in the first place; it is mostly men that make these rules who are in the position to change them," she wrote.
