Martina Navratilova calls out Caitlyn Jenner's hypocrisy on trans rights and we're FLOORED
For once the tennis pro is on the right side of history!
We don’t usually agree with the frequently transphobic former tennis star Martina Navratilova, but today, we’re questioning that position because she just did a brilliant job clapping back at Caitlyn Jenner.
Jenner, much like Navratilova, believes that trans women shouldn’t be allowed in women’s sports, and both women are part of the LGBTQ+ community, but their political views couldn’t be more different. Jenner has sadly hitched her wagon to Trump and the MAGA crowd, while Navratilova is a Democrat and Joe Biden stan.
This stark difference became glaringly obvious over the weekend when Jenner got on her soapbox and repeated far-right talking points about the White House celebrating Trans Day of Visibility.
Because Republicans are awful and don’t seem to be able to go a single day without hating the LGBTQ+ community, conservatives spent the weekend complaining about Biden honoring the holiday. Right-wing politicians and pundits were also enraged that the annual coincided with Easter this year — something that couldn’t be helped since Trans Day of Visibly is celebrated on March 31 every year, while Easter falls on a different date each year.
But Jenner clearly doesn’t understand how holidays work because she took to x (formerly Twitter) to voice her ridiculous opinion.
“I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days - a self proclaimed devout Catholic - as Transgender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen’.

She then continued her rant on Fox News, where she said that Democrats were attempting to “destroy the family structs, destroy religion.
”Both women are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and both hold the transphobic belief that trans women have a place in women’s sports,Jenner clearly has no empathy for the trans community — to which she belongs. Solidarity? Who’s that? Being wealthy and a Republican seems to have erased her knowledge that she is, in fact, a trans woman.
Then Navratilova read Jenner for filth, and it was truly a thing to behold.
“So says a divorcee….6 children with 3 different wives and it’s the left that is destroying the family? Got it… what a pathetic hypocrite,” she wrote on X.

We’re actually cheering for Navratilova today; what is happening?!
Much like every Republican ever, Jenner refused to admit her hypocrisy.
“Last time I checked @Martina I raised one of the most successful families in the world, with the most amazing women - their mothers - by my side,” she posted. “You’re the hypocrite. You support dems that want men in women’s sport, ruining Title IX. Don’t ever come after my family! Tasteless!!!”
I didn’t come for your family. You said Dems are ruining families. You’re the one who divorced 3 x. Nothing to do with your family- it’s all about you and only you. Also- I am not a one issue voter so there is that.

Sadly, Navratilova agrees with Jenner about trans women not being allowed in women's sports, but the tennis pro clapped back immediately.
“I didn’t come for your family. You said Dems are ruining families. You’re the one who divorced 3 x. Nothing to do with your family- it’s all about you and only you. Also- I am not a one issue voter so there is that.”
Listen, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
This just proves once again that while Jenner may be part of the LGBTQ+ community, she is also just the WORST.
