Martina Navratilova, widely considered one of the greatest female tennis players in history, suggested that when transgender swimmers like Lia Thomas win women's races, they should have “an asterisk” by the victory because “the rules are not correct.”
openly lesbian sportswomen, insisted that the rules allowing Thomas to compete against women are unfair. She proposed a strategy that would not exclude transgender athletes but would prevent male-to-female athletes from claiming victory unfairly.
"You try to keep it as close as possible to what it would had been, were you born in the female biological body in the first place," the tennis star argued."And even saying that, people take exception to - biological female. People don't even want to use those words. I don't know what else to say. Other than that."
"But the solution perhaps for now is to swim in a lane; you can compete but you don't get the medal," Navratilova suggested. Navratilova suggested an"open category" for all athletes, and allowing male-to-female athletes to compete against men.
