On Sunday, the 65-year-old tweeted her surprise at being blocked on Twitter by Gillian Branstetter, a woman who works in Comms Strategy for the ACLU, according to her bio. "Why would I be blocked by this woman?

I have no clue… https://t.co/qXkXT6hErk In a subsequent conversation thread, she said that the ACLU has "gone sideways" in its eagerness to allow transgender people to compete in sports without batting an eyelid. She further stated that the person responsible for this was Chase Strangio, a lawyer and transgender rights activist who also serves as the Deputy Director for Transgender Justice and a staff attorney with ACLU. "Well, the ACLU, thanks mainly to Chase Strangio, has really gone sideways when it comes to sports and trans women competing- they will only accept full inclusion for trans women to compete, no mitigation, only self ID necessary.

Martina Navratilova has been very vocal with her thoughts on transgender people and their free inclusion in professional sports, so much so that a fan recently told the former World No. 1 that he was not a fan of her "anti-trans side" and that her beliefs were an indication of her bigotry.

What is not cool is not having those spaces… check your male privilege, please," she replied. "So let me ask you- you think it is wrong that biological women who are in a rape survivor group insist on having only biological females in the group, including the actual counselor?

She also took to Twitter recently to criticize American magazine and multi-platform publisher The Atlantic for their article on gender separation in sports. The publication's Maggie Martens wrote an article titled 'Separating Sports by Sex doesn't make sense,' in which the author discussed how creating different categories for boys and girls in sports is now an old idea."It’s also so so wrong… I expected better journalism from the Atlantic," Martina Navratilova said, about the article.Martina Navratilova@Martina@jessesingal It’s also so so wrong… I expected better journalism from the Atlantic…???87338@jessesingal It’s also so so wrong… I expected better journalism from the Atlantic…???
