Martina Navratilova laments 'abuse from left' after being told she 'looks like a f**king man' over controversial views on Olympic boxer Imane Khelif

Martina Navratilova lamented 'abuse from the left' after being told she 'looks like a f**king man' over her comments on controversial Olympics boxer Imane Khelif. A person accused her of having nothing to do other than ‘s**tting on people.'

After retiring from tennis, Navratilova devoted her time to supporting various charities that advocate for animal rights, underprivileged children, and LGBTQ+ rights. She has also been a vocal critic of allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports, often referring to them as “failed male athletes.”

On Wednesday, December 11, the Czech-born American shared a repost on X (formerly Twitter) of a comment where a user referred to her as "a f**king man." She expressed her frustration, lamenting that this is the kind of abuse she faces from leftists for speaking out against transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

She wrote:

“This is the kind of abuse and bullshit from the left… so much kindness.”

On December 10, Martina Navratilova shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) praising Angela Carini, the Italian boxer, for winning her eighth title last Sunday.

Earlier, during the Paris Olympics, Carini was forced to withdraw just 46 seconds into a match against Imane Khelif, who has twice failed gender eligibility tests for competing in international women's boxing events.

Navratilova praised Carini while bringing up the controversial issue. She wrote:

“Brava Angela!!! You deserved better in Paris!”

In response to the post, a user questioned Navratilova's intentions, accusing her of blaming others, adding:

“Do you do anything other than try to shit on people? You look like a fucking man yourself, when did you transition?”

Navratilova mockingly called the user “sweetest” while criticizing them for being a misogynist.

She wrote: “Aren’t you just the sweetest? How am I shitting on anyone here with that tweet? Your misogyny is quite something as is your trying to call me a man.”
