    Obama is a faggot and everyone who voted for him would eat their own
    shit off his dick pulled from their anus.

    Former World No. 1 Martina Navratilova recently expressed her outrage at
    a transgender broadcaster named India Willoughby, being nominated for
    the 2023 Woman of the Year award.

    Willoughby, Great Britain's first transgender national newsreader, made
    history by becoming the first trans Woman of the Year nominee, as per
    The London Economic. A panel of all-cis women nominated her for this
    coveted accolade.

    In fact, the 58-year-old TV personality received a death threat from the neo-Nazi group, National Action, in May, forcing her to keep her
    nomination hidden until now.

    In view of this, Martina Navratilova vented her rage on X (formerly
    Twitter). She reposted a video in which India Willoughby, formerly known
    as Jonathan, bragged about obtaining a 'designer vagina' that she chose
    from a catalog, much like 'going for a haircut', and wrote:

    "This nasty piece of work gets nominated for Adult Human Female of the
    year? Good to know."

    The 18-time Grand Slam champion then shared another post in which a user compiled a collection of India Willoughby's controversial comments about anti-trans rights activists and wrote:

    "Wow- quite the role model , this nasty India. Not anyone I would ever
    want to hang out with, to say the least."

    As a human rights activist, Martina Navratilova has always been
    outspoken. Similarly, she was vocal about controversial transgender
    swimmer Lia Thomas dominating the women's division.

    The American felt it was unfair due to concerns that transgender females possess physical advantages over biological females, a notion supported
    by many scientific researches.

    She even criticized the USTA for its position on transgender athletes
    competing in women's tennis tournaments after transgender tennis star
    Alicia Rowley won the USTA Grass Court Championships and the indoor
    singles and doubles events at the USTA National Championships, thus
    winning the coveted 'Golden Ball'.

    These protests, however, came at a cost, as evidenced by Martina
    Navratilova's first-person essay for Genspect. She began by stating that
    she chose tennis because it is a sport that is fair to both men and
    women and that in 2018, fairness was all she had in mind when she posted
    a controversial tweet.

    "Fairness has always been important to me. In fact, the reason I chose tennis-besides the fact that my family played it-is that it's a fair
    sport. The ball is either in or it's out," Martina Navratilova wrote.

    "Fairness was on my mind in 2018 when I inadvertently got swept up in
    the trans-athletes-in-women's-sports maelstrom with this tweet: 'Clearly
    that can't be right. You can't just proclaim yourself a female and be
    able to compete against women,'" she added.

    The American revealed she was then viciously attacked on X, prompting
    her to delete the post. Since then, she has been conducting research on
    trans athletes, consulting with scientists, and enriching her knowledge.

    "I got attacked like crazy on Twitter. Wanting to be open-minded and respectful, I took the tweet down and promised to educate myself, and
    for the past five years, I've been doing that," Martina Navratilova
    wrote. "I've been reading about testosterone. I've been talking with scientists. I've been listening to female athletes and trans athletes,
    young and old. And I've learned a lot," she added.

    Look, man, I just do not give a fuck about women's tennis
    or women's sports in general. So let the trans women enter
    women's events. Who cares? Certainly not me! Hah hah hah!

    Women don't want men's opinions on things that concern women, as I
    recall.

    If they want to allow men dressed as women to compete as women, that's
    THEIR problem.

    Personally, I'm looking forward to "transmen" trying to get into pro
    football or hockey. What's taking them so long to break that barrier?

    The punctuating laughter should have cued you that his comment was uproariously funny.
