"This is just so wrong, we're talking thousands of children into thinking they're transgender and taking them away from parents" - Martina Navratilova

Martina Navratilova recently gave her opinion on an American mother losing custody of her daughter over differing views on her child's gender identity.

As per a report by "Independent Women's Forum," a mother named Jeanette Cooper lost custody of her teenage daughter due to her apparent inability to accept that her daughter was transgender. Cooper, who is based out of Chicago, also claimed that it was her ex-husband's significant other who influenced her daughter into transitioning.

Martina Navratilova, who regularly expresses her views on issues pertaining to trans people, reposted the original story on Tuesday (22 August) while highlighting the increase in the number of children who are changing their gender identity.

She also seemed to suggest that "supportive parents" were having their children taken away from them due to the politics regarding sex and gender ideology.

"This is just so wrong… trans went from 0.02% of the population to going through the roof, statistically speaking. We are literally talking thousands of children into thinking they are trans[gender]… and taking them away from supportive parents- insane," Navratilova tweeted.

Martina Navratilova is also against transgender athletes competing in women's sports

Martina Navratilova, a staunch critic of trans activism, has been openly lesbian since 1981

While Martina Navratilova regularly critiques transgender activism on social media, she has expressed even stronger views on sports organizations including trans athletes in women's competitions. Navratilova believes that including trans-identifying athletes in women's sports is disrespectful to biological females.

A week ago, Navratilova expressed discontent with trans powerlifter Avi Silverberg being allowed to break the women's bench press record in the 84+ kg category at a national tournament in the USA.

"It is happening literally everywhere…" the American wrote on her social media

She also disagreed with USWNT star Megan Rapinoe, who supports transgender athletes' inclusion in sports.

"Yikes..." she wrote on Twitter in response to a report about Rapinoe's views on the subject.

Even the USTA, who are responsible for organizing the US Open, couldn't escape the former World No. 1's ire. Navratilova criticized their new transgender inclusion policy, and even claimed that women’s tennis was not for failed male athletes.

"Come on USTA - women’s tennis is not for failed male athletes- whatever age. This is not right and it is not fair," she wrote. "Would this be allowed at the US Open this month? Just with self ID? I don’t think so…"
